[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1851193, member: 14204"] You have gotten excellent advice. Don't fool yourself, you do not completely eliminate recoil. You either absorb it or redirect most of its energy to reduce the felt recoil. An effective muzzle brake design serves two purposes, reduction in felt recoil and reduction in muzzle rise. The reduction in muzzle rise is often overlooked, being able to spot your target on impact is priceless. For ~$100, you can have your barrel thread (i.e., 5-8/24") and you plenty of choices for an excellent self-indexing muzzle brake (or suppressor in the future) out in the market today. In case you have not seen this .... [MEDIA=youtube]JlgmxDp114A[/MEDIA] My go-to chambering for antelope to elk size game up to 1K yards remains the .300 Win Mag. I have a .30 LARA, which is basically an improved .300 WBTY. [ATTACH type="full" alt=".300 WM vs .300 WBTY vs .30 LARA.jpg"]180941[/ATTACH] (L-R: .300 WM, .300 WBTY, and .30 LARA) At 15, my best advice to you is to take your time and enjoy the learning process, esp. in long-range hunting. This forum has a lot of people that are always willing and able to help in providing you sound advice in your decision-making. What you do with them is entirely up to you.
