[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 29114, member: 313"] I am 5'6" and 150lbs. I shoot my 7STW all the time. No muzzle break or anything else is necessary to reduce recoil. It may depend more on how recoil tolerant you are than the actual amount of recoil produced by the 7STW. I have seen guys MUCH bigger than I am who shoot 300 mags with recoil shields on their shoulder and/or muzzle breaks to reduce recoil. If this is your first centerfire rifle than it may take you awhile to get use to the recoil but if you have been shooting lesser cartridges (270,308,30-06 etc) than don't worry about it. For the hunting that you described you may be better served with a 7mm Rem mag. Ammo is cheaper & much easier get, recoil is less and the difference in usable energy and trajectory isn't that big a deal. Just my 2 cents VH [/QUOTE]
