| The severity of the recoil depends on what you are used to. When I first bought my M38, I thought it kicked like a mule. After 20 rounds, I had a headache. My 12 year old fired one shot and was done with it. Now, 6 months and over 1000 rounds later, the recoil does not bother me at all. My 12 year old burned through over 100 rounds in 2 hours with my M44 and was a bit sore the next day, but otherwise unaffected. These are great rifles to shoot and one of the cheapest high powered rifles you can own and operate. About once a month, we take a bunch of Mosins down to Atterbury and have a ball.
