I am considering getting a bolt action .308, but I'm concerned about the amount of recoil. I don't know anyone who has one so I haven't been able to try one. I currently have a .22lr, a .17hmr and a .223. Almost forgot about the 20 gauge. I had a 12 gauge for a little while and let it go. It was no fun at all. I'm not a little guy, but I'm not a large man either. So for comparison sake, is the .308 recoil similar to a 12 gauge? More like a 20? Or just a little greater than a .223?
I don't need a .308, just considering something that I don't already have.
Thanks for any input.
