RE: Remington No 1 Creedmoor
Have an original 1874 Sharps Military Musket in 45-110, we have fired it once. Recoil is brutal. Anything in 45-100 at less than ten pounds would be unpleasant to shoot if loaded to potential.
It all depends on what you intend to do with the rifle. To hang it on the wall and look at it, well, it really doesn't matter whether or not it kicks you flat every time you pull the trigger.
If you intend to shoot it more than once or twice a month then think about a 45-90 as close to 15 pounds as you can get it. Develop a load and take up Black Powder Target Rifle Competition. That is where you will learn to shoot it well.
