32, 38, 41, 45
More than a 22, less than a 357
It depends on the comparative charges of the ammunition. A rifle can have more recoil than a shotgun.
Slower to heat up, more weight=less recoil.
This will vary depending on the cartridge fired, and the weight of the rifle. With a heavy target rifle in caliber 22 LR, it will be barely noticeable. With a light hunting rifle in 30-06 caliber, it can be enough force to be painful. With VERY powerful cartridges, such as the .577 T-Rex, recoil may be enough to knock you down. Recoil is the REACTION to the ACTION of accelerating a bullet down the barrel. The weight and speed of the bullet generate the recoil (heavier, faster bullets = more recoil) , modified by the weight of the rifle- heavier= less recoil.
I recommend a 9mm. Glock or Springfield Armory= Most value for your money, largest magazine capacity and lightest recoil. A revolver of any manufacturer is going to have added recoil far less capacity and more time consuming to reload. Revolvers are highly inaccurate as well. A revolver has no spring or slide to absorb any recoil so in turn when you shoot a revolver the gun will jump upwards and it will take you longer to get your target back in your sights.
Recoil of a firearm is based on how heavy and fast is the bullet, and how much does the firearm weigh. Change any one of the 3, and recoil will change. The AVERAGE .270 Winchester (16.5 lbs recoil) will have less recoil than a 30-06 (17.6 lbs recoil) but more than a .308 Winchester ( 15.8 lbs recoil). How recoil FEELS can be affected by several things, including shape of the stock, recoil control devices (such as pads) which spread recoil over time, etc. Good article for some more reading for you-http:/wwwzperiodzchuckhawkszperiodzcom/recoil_tablezperiodzhtm
It is a shell for a shotgun that has less power than a standard shotshell, and produces less recoil, or "kick".
your DON'T relax the shoulder. the butt stock is held close (tight) to the shoulder. In this manner there is less (pain) recoil to the shoulder.
Well, if it is a 20 gauge, it is a shotgun, not rifle. From description, MIGHT be a series 220 model. These are ABOUT $150 for an excellent specimen, less if worn.
There are more than rifle cartridge called "7mm" and they are not equal in power or equal in recoil. A 7 x 57mm Mauser will be moderate-recoiling, but a 7mm Remington Magnum will be in the heavy recoil category. And the weight (mass) of the rifle matters, too. With a heavy gun, the recoil will feel less to you, and it will be like a shove. A light weight gun fired with the exact same ammo in it might feel like a hard slap. Not as comfortable. Any 7mm hunting or military rifle should be OK for an adult man or woman of normal size to shoot at least a few rounds from without pain or bruising.
There is no "one" better anything- including rifle calibers. The .300 Win Mag can fire a heavier bullet a longer distance, but is generally a heavier rifle, has more recoil, and you can carry less ammunition.
Usually we just write it as 30-06. The felt recoil will depend on the weight of the rifle, stock shape, and loading of the cartridge. It has significant recoil, but not crushing. It was used as the standard military rifle cartridge of the US from 1906 until 1959, so was used by hundreds of thousands of shooters. To me, it is similar to the recoil of a 20 g shotgun with a hot loaded shell. It is more than a 30-30, less than 7mm Magnum.
