You obviously should be in charge of hoarder containment and punishment in your community. A venerable killer in a small package.
 
Man I dont mind it when im shooting at critters but dang I really dont like it when im trying to pattern my scatter gun.

I'd have to drill a few holes under the buttplate to make it a little lighter to get the full effect

Lmao!I really enjoy mt BPS 10 but 12 ga. 3 1/2 inch and this little single 10 makes my brain rattle!!
 
I enjoy getting my RDAOR (recommended daily allownce of recoil)
But I've got a 300 RUM that will flat knock the slobber out ya,when you got it on the bench. I don't mind admitting that I put on my "Past" sissy pad when I shoot it.

It makes sighting in my 3" slug gun seem like a pleasant experience.

I really think that the idea of recoil tolerance being connected to body size is a myth.

Maybe we should ask Mythbusters to look into it for us.
 
I'm not trying to sound like "Mr buff guy" or anything, but ive always had a high level of tolerance for pain and i'm sure it plays a large role in my enjoyment of heavy recoiling firearms.

I have a 338win that would love to detach your retinas.

In my experience a 3.5" 12 gauge shell makes a well built 338 Win Mag seem like a [beeep] cat on the shoulder in comparison. Kinda' like the difference between a sharp whack and a hard push.

In my book, if I had to, I'd pick a 338 Win Mag as my one rifle simply because it is a very shootable cartridge in a well built rifle for anything you might encounter short of a trip to Africa.

But to be fair, in looking back at the picture, a boat paddle Ruger of any decent caliber has never been known as being friendly on the shoulder or the face. That combo with the 338 Win Mag cartridge is like putting highway tires on an Indy race car and expecting good results.

But can you hit anything with it that is the question?
