[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 213856, member: 2736"] To all reading this thread I have never heard of a rifle bending the recoil lug and from what I now read they do. I have never owned a savage but had thought about it more than once , But I have shot quite a few big bores and have never bent a lug on any of them. Several of them produce over 70 ft/lbs of recoil (no brake) and have not bent the lug. I personaly dont like changing to a thicker lug without adding tenon length at the shoulder to maintain full thread ingagement. It would be interesting if someone would do a rockwell test on one of these bent lugs. This is a good question to talk more about. Very interested J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
