I can feel that. I had a bit of magnum flinch. The sake a7 weighs basically nothing, and comes stock with a hard plastic recoil plate. Barely got it sighted to 100 yards, with 8 rounds before I gave up from the bruising and went to the gun Smith. 1 mercury and recoil pad later I don't even notice. But between the bruisez and getting scoped it took a while to unlearn that flinch
