[QUOTE="wildcat455, post: 1526721, member: 102653"] I am not very recoil sensitive. Nathan is right, sort of. I believe without reading his book, he is talking about perceived recoil by the shooter. Recoil is physics. Plain and simple. The 300 win mag gives in the neighborhood of 25 ft pounds of recoil at a speed of about 14 FPS. Now these numbers are of course tied to the weight of the rifle, the load you are shooting, projectile weight, etc. All that physics stuff. What a stock of one type or another can or can’t do, is redirect some of that energy, deflecting it from your perception of feeling it. Which is to say the energy still happens, so because of physics, that energy has to be dissipated in a way other than straight back into your shoulder. Most stocks do this by allowing the muzzle to rise. Now some of that energy is spent fighting gravity instead of going back into your shoulder. At least that’s my understanding of it. I wouldn’t bed it if you are going to sell it, no. Also, yes, you would probably get less money for it. Additionally, I wouldn’t bed it until I shot it and had some reason to believe it needed bedding in the first place. Another thing, before you worry about the recoil of your rifle, maybe shoot it first and see if there is anything to worry about? I assume you haven’t because you say you haven’t mounted a scope to it yet. I could be wrong. [/QUOTE]
