[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1627927, member: 69192"] A muzzle brake ought to help get the recoil under control. I have a Marlin 1895 Guide Gun it too is a light rifle, [U][I]kicks like two mules on steroids[/I][/U] when that trigger is pulled. The rifle "does" have a muzzle brake on it from the factory. I fit a KickEez recoil pad onto the rifle, it made a big difference in the recoil. If you start rebarreling I would suggest keeping the budget in mind; "rebarrel vs purchase new"? I didn't read the/what [U]DISTANCES[/U] that you intend to hunt at. If you are recoil sensitive, [U][I]I hate to write or suggest this (can't believe that I did!!)[/I][/U], but............the 6.5 Creedmore or any of the cartridges along that [I]caliber[/I] line ought to work just fine for deer and coyote hunting; a .308 Winchester ought to be a good cartridge too. Any of the "WSM" or SAUM cartridges ought to work well for the short action and the game that you intend to use it for. Something that I would like to bring up if considering the large capacity WSMs and SAUM cartridges is that it is important to remember,[U][I] when concerned about recoil[/I][/U], is that powder>=weight>=recoil. The more powder a case holds the more the recoil; oftentimes powder charge is overlooked and not taken into account when concerned about recoil. [/QUOTE]
