Ever hear of a recoil pad. I have a winchester carbine 375. I put a cheap slip-on recoil pad on it. I carry it everywhere in the woods and shoot it occasionally too. :-)
Oh, trust me, each gun I described had a recoil pad, and they still rattle my teeth. My Mossberg turkey gun has the built in rubber recoil pad, but 3 shots or so of the 2 oz turkey loads whacks me good. I've read that the 2 oz loads have about the same recoil as a 375 H&H. I believe it. :)
