I took the Mighty 8 out with some of the factory shells that came with the gun, some 185, cor-locks and some 220 cor-locks.
Unknown speed. The rifle has iron sights . put a box and printer paper target at 100 yards. I remember when I could see the back sight , the front sight and the target all at once. Anyway I managed to put two of each with in an inch of center, 2" spread" shooting sitting on my coyote belt seat and on my sticks. I was tickled and my son did as well. I was p repaired for all hell to hit my shoulder. No where as bad as I expected. Yes there is big recoil it's a big gun but even with out a limb saver or muzzle brake it is very manageable. I'll have to use the "Sled" for shell development but I think only a limbsaver after that for hunting. Very similar to my 870 3 1/2" mag coyote shells in recoil, I think..

Proper placement of the butt, means the recoil is OK.

That's awesome. I think you might have found a go-to hunting rifle.

I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on.
