I'm a 19 year old college student shooting on the weekends when I get bored; you're a Marine Corps scout-sniper. I think the differing occupations says enough.

^ Sounds right to me. Slugs are bigger and I don't know of any shotgun with more than a small rubber pad to cushion the recoil. I know my Mossberg 500A with a slug is enough to hurt my shoulder for a few hours. My Mosin M38 did that too after about 20 shots. Which is why now I have a rubber pad on it . Now it doesn't bother me one bit. I love it!

Congrats on being a sniper in the USMC.Could you tell me what your MOS is? sam.
jsmaye- There's no recoil with the 50. A standard 300 win mag recoils only slightly.
Chuck Hawks rifle recoil table: A 30lb .50BMG with attachment has 70lbs recoil.A .300winmag with 180gr bullets weighing 8.5lbs has 25.9lbs recoil.A 7.62x54mm Russian using 174gr bullets and weighing 9lbs has 15lbs recoil.I agree,I dont mind the .300win,but I noticed a little rearward motion with the .50BMG. sam.
Looks like I'm gonna blow the hell out of my shoulder tomorrow. Need to sight in a new scope on a 91/30, and to fire my New England Westinghouse and Mauser K98 for the first time. Also taking my .44 mag and .454 Casull to abuse my wrist while I'm at it.

My father and I do alot of dealing with buymil and we have never been let down, Fast shipping, usally pretty cheap and the parts are dead on.
Also this place has any part of a MN you could ever want, dates, Tula or Izzy etc can all be matched on that site to get the right cleaning rod for your 44.

Mine was a Mossberg 500AT.

If you really want to "feel" your shoulder..try a NEA Handy Rifle in .500 S&W..they will really reach out and touch your arthritis ... I sighted one in for my Bro and I would rather shoot a M44 any day....
