Is this worse than that of an 8mm Mauser? Is it anything like a shottie?
Its not even close. A 91/30 is a real joy to shoot. The carbines are short but heavy, they have more recoil than the longer rifles, but most of that perceived recoil is muzzle blast. It has more to do with stock fit than anything else, mauser carbines are too short for me and rattle my teeth, while Mosin fit me really nice. Another bad one if the '03 springfield, I've never thought of the 30-06 as hard kicking until I starteed shooting one of these. I've shot plenty of remington and winchester 30-06 hunting rifles which fit me better, and the recoil has never even bothered me on any of these.Is this worse than that of an 8mm Mauser?
