Yea that’s a 45-70. Those didn’t kick like a mule. I have the upgraded version of that and it doesn’t even kick as much.

sunlit forest | 556: 4 LBS OF RECOIL (OUT OF A 7 LB RIFLE) 30-06: 20 LBS OF RECOIL (8 POUND RIFLE) 45-70: 36 LBS RECOIL (7 POUND RIFLE) 12 GAUGE: 30 LBS REC | image tagged in sunlit forest | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
You're a better man than I. 45/70 qualifies as a shoulder bucker to me...
Of course recoil is subjective, and depends more on the gun than the cartridge. Example: my double barrel shotgun feels like it has much less recoil than my other shotguns since its stock design is better.
