[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 1690058, member: 879"] None of the cartridges Remmy700 mentioned provide much recoil to deal with--not in those 12-15 lb rifles. So you can get away with a lighter hold and a looser shoulder pressure; somewhat more like shooting rimfire. But you wouldn't want to employ those same techniques when shooting a rifle/cartridge that has a lot of felt recoil. Certainly would not want to leave any space between my shoulder and the butt stock--that's a big "No-No" for shooting hard recoiling rigs. Also would not want to rest on my collarbone; but since I don't normally shoot from a prone position, I can sit up and get the stock cradled into the pocket of my shoulder without resting on the collarbone.
