[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1270220, member: 4566"] Hard to quantify. There is recoil ENERGY and VELOCITY. Energy may be lower on the 7.5 and 168 but VELOCITY is what you FEEL for the most part and is definitely what makes a gun SHOOTABLE. A 50BMG is shootable because the recoil is SLOOOOOOOOOW. Good calculators will show both figures and there are many theories on what recoil velocity and energy is shootable but stock design and other factors also matter. Personally I cant shoot anything that kicks FAST. Recoil I can handle, fast recoil and I am shooting a pattern. You may be different, you may be able to shoot a gun like that. I can't and don't LIKE to regardless. Of course I hunt out of a truck and a 14.4lb Lapua is a lightweight rig, FOR ME. Your mileage probably will vary. [/QUOTE]
