Not sure I hadn't noticed it on the No. 1. .450 marlin was going almost 300fps faster than the 4570 does with 325gr bullets, stung the hand a little lol.

Just looks like a gentle 'shove' for both of you. My buddy who was shop forearm for Champlin Firearms years ago had a thick, felt, finger cot that he wore on the middle finger of his trigger hand to protect it from recoil.

The Marlin lever guns are not fun to shoot in the hot loaded stuff, I had a .457 WWG which is basically a .45-90 and it was no fun. I have a regular old model 1895 that has the long barrel and the pistol grip stock and I like it a lot better. The short guide guns are very handy but I don't like shooting them at all.

Cell phone pic of a poor, faded, 35mm photo from Feb of 1984. Felt finger cot in use shooting an 8-bore double rifle headed for an elephant hunt the next day. @adamsredlines might want to try one of these!

Yeah I’m one to talk. I once shot just shy of 80 rounds of full house 200gr RNLFP .44 Mag (305 p.f. Chrono’d) out of a 629 Mountain Gun in a single session. PAST shooting gloves be damned, that was NOT a smart thing to do! LOL

To this day the single most painful round I’ve shot was a 405gr LFP Buffalo Bore 45-70 out of an SBL Guide Gun. Never had one round induce a migraine before, but that one did!
