4198. The recoil was very stiff knocking my glasses up sideways. The gent on the bench next to me commented how “fun” that looked. I managed 7 shots and pulled the last 3 bullets. A heavy 45-70 flying 2K isn’t enjoyable. I’d probably want to willingly take it again if going after some in the field hoping adrenaline & the moment would offset the “fun”.
