[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 523847, member: 30902"] The longest ever kills with sniper rifles are now exceeding the 1,800-2,500M ranges. Those are with 50bmg and 408 Cheytac. I have personally shot both at ranges exceeding 1,500m. I have even seen one shooter get five consecutive sub MOA hits on a steel target at 1,800m with the new .375 Cheytac. If recoil was having a negative impact on accuracy these shots would not be possible. Other than muzzle brakes these rifles do not have any built in recoil dampening and both have recoil forces exceeding 70lbs. On average we are talking about bullets that remain in the rifle no mor than .002 seconds vs recoil velocity of less than 20fps. 20fps x .002=.04 ft of possible movement during that time with most of that force being directed in linear fashion straight back towards the shooter. This does not provide an opportunity for the recoild to be having any significant effect on accuracy. This is compared to the average sporting rifle in .223-30-06 which will have recoil forces of sub 14lbs. Recoil itself is not affecting accuracy, our reactions/anticipation of recoil is what affects accuracy. [/QUOTE]
