How do I change the color back it is too hard for me to read this
I’m right handed and had surgery on my right shoulder four years ago. I broke a bone, tore my rotator cuff and ripped the muscle that holds
the bicep up my arm. I sold all my 12 gauge shotguns because of the amount of damage it was doing to my shoulder. I have read that this rifle has less of a kick than a 12 gauge shotgun, but looking at the size of the casing, I don’t know how it can be true

The rheostat access on the side is key to having a good house fire…
I wouldn't shoot anything beyond standard 45-70 Govt loads in a break action. It puts out a 405 grain bullet at 1330 fps, for 1600 ft/lbs energy.
Some of the new 45-70 ammo uses a 300 grain bullet at 2350, for 3678 ft/lbs energy.
The H&R looks pretty light, and the Siamese Mauser is a relatively light rifle as well. It had a sharp kick about like 30-06 in a similar sporting weight rifle with 45-70 GVT ammo and was punishing shooting maximum loads at 51KSI chamber pressure.
What hurts you is not the free recoil, but the velocity of the recoil, so going to a heavier rifle makes a big difference in reducing recoil velocity.
Cute little shit! "Put me in Dad!"
The deal changed when I called the guy and told him I was on my way over. He said he’d rather have 2 ounces of flowers than my money, and I was real happy about that. I thought the gun was rather lightweight considering the caliber and yes, I think the gun needs about another 5 pounds of weight to absorb some of that recoil, I wonder if I get a lighter load of powder I would assume it would have less kick to it. I see the average charge at 410 grains and then I see lighter loads at 310 grains. I’m thinking that might be the ticket for me.

That 45-70 is something else might have a kick of single shot 12ga 3 1/2" mag but not an auto where somes of its absorbed moving the action.
I made the mistake of getting a 20ga ss H&R for my son after 5 shots which I had to force him to make and feel absolutely sorry to this day.
He was crying from the recoil so I thought ok thought he was joshing.
I picked it up shot the damn thing once was enough for me and these were just light field loads.
I've shot 10ga sxs with less fuckin recoil.
Unless you got shock absorbers built into the butt stock, I Seriously Wouldn't
Maybe I need to send it to my buddy Dog and see what kind of damage it does to him before I try to shoot it… from what I’ve read, it’s a fairly sought after gun and one article I saw, said it could take down just about any living creature on the planet. I don’t think I’ll be killing any animals with it but I may be taking it out to my range outback and seeing if I could suffer through it… I’m not a big heavy man, so I’m thinking this thing just might knock me over

Ya it's not to far away from an H&H375 elephant gun but those are built heavy to help absorb some of that recoil.
Them h&r"s shouldn't of never been made
