[QUOTE="LaHunter, post: 1415806, member: 54963"] 1) shoot a rifle with less recoil. The 7 mm mag has a significant recoil, especially if the rifle is somewhat lighter wt. A 22 rim fire is a good practice rifle. The .260, 6.5, 308, 25-06 are all mild recoil calibers that are effective on deer size game. 2) Dry fire drills. Obviously, while following all of the basic gun safety rules, dry firing while simulating real shooting situations is great practice. You can actually see if you are moving during the trigger break. You should be able to keep you reticle on target through the trigger break, while using the same pressure on the stock as you would with live ammo. As far as shooting the AR, I will give you my opinion based on my personal experience. I tend use a fair amount of pressure into the stock with my 7 mag to control recoil. I do not allow the rifle to 'free recoil'. This helps with my accuracy and it also helps me get back on target quicker. When I do this with my AR, my groups are not impressive. With my AR, I pretty much have to allow the rifle to 'free recoil', or almost free recoil. With this technique, my AR will group in about .5 MOA at 200 yards. I have a Timney trigger in my AR, and while it is much better than the trigger that came in the rifle, it is not as crisp as my M700 Timney in my bolt rifle. Moral of my story, the AR requires a different technique / form vs a magnum bolt action, or at least this is what I do. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
