Stock design and fit has alot to do with it AND hunting versus range work also makes a difference.

Of the guns I have shot / owned or own.

My 505 Gibbs - no problems as it is well stocked although the 600gn Pills at full hunting load starts to get a bit heavy after 4 shots - or at least you it went off !!!

My 50O Jeffrey - a bit hard on me as the stock is not great but I have no problems shooting 6 shots in a row.

500 Nitro's - of the 5 I own or have owned

Jospeh Lang - lovely, well balanced, sweet to shoot.
A&N 1 - Stock is thin and small and it kicks because of this - in fact I broke a tooth shooting this gun
A&N 2 - Same gun as above but a completely different stock -= much more "meat" on it which is what I like. Gun is great to shoot.
WR - Short barreled, nicely stocked, lovely to shoot.
The 5th one I haven't got yet so will let you know !!!

Custom 585 Nyati - gun was well stocked and no problems to shoot.
I have shot the first 600 Jeffrey (U/L Hammer) and I felt it but got 5 out of 6 shots off in 24 seconds. I wouldn't do it continuously.

4 and 8 bores - have fired 8 bore and you can have it.
The same applies to BP guns of 500 and above - don't like the sharpness of the recoil.

Enjoy !!!

500 Nitro
