Maybe you know how to hold a rifle correctly.

That's my take on it. Most people seem to be afraid to snuggle up to the steel and embrace the recoil.

Only gun I cannot fire allot at one sitting is the No4 Enfield in the prone unsupported position. The top inside corner of the buttplate is right on my collarbone and it gets sore pretty darn quick. I could probably adjust my hold but I get good accuracy so I just put up with the pain on that one.

I must be a recoil junkie...or maybe those who collect milsurp weapons just enjoy the experience of firing "no holds barred" weapons and feeling the same sensations their original users felt. I enjoy the jolt from M95 Steyrs, M44s, M98s, 03A3s, M1917s, Winchester 1897 12 gauge, #4 and #1 Enfields, etc. With the cost of ammo as it is, I want to see lots of fire and smoke, and feel the kick...
