338 Edge recoil

[300rum]

Hi Soren,

The best way to go is to try shooting few rounds with one 338edge. My friends got scared too, but after I let them shooting with my 338Edge, they were really impressed, plus they could spot their own shoots, because of the very low recoil and muzzle jump.

I've posted this before. It takes the guesswork out of assessing recoil.

tjonh2001,
What I mean is different levels of recoil are different to different people. To some an '06 kicks, but not to others. I gave a comparison of what to expect out of the rifle described. I don't mind a kick in the chops here and there so it doesn't bother me. I think that a rifle chamber for such a round that has a little weight and a brake shouldn't bother most people. I have fired up to 50 rounds through mine in one day at the range. Shoot a group and set it aside to cool while firing an '06, 7mmMag, and smaller and had no prob.

Hi I have a 338 edge ackley improved shooting 94gr h1000 with 300gr smk gun weighs 19lbs ,I could shoot all day no problem. It is more a push then a kick. My buddy has a 338 edge shooting same load and he has no problem. Neither of us are big guys. Another friend has a 338 lapua hs precision he is shooting 240 or 250 grains bullets with full load of powder. His gun weighs about 14lbs I watched his wife shoot it on the weekend she is a small lady,she also had no problem with it. I have a video clip of me shooting my gun , the first time I watched it I was surprised at how little it moved me. Hope this helps

i have an Edge with a Holland baffle style brake and also a 30-06 which has been my shoot anything gun for more than 20 years. my 06 kicks twice as hard as my Edge. once for kicks and giggles i took the brake off of my Edge to try it. i can assure you it was more kicks than it was giggles.

Very interesting, thanks for the info. Do most of you run 30" barrels? I am leaning towards a 28" fluted + a brake. I would like to be able to carry the rifle without the it being a pain in the ass.
