[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 501226, member: 11717"] Actually, I'm guessing I'm very average when it comes to recoil tolerance. When I shoot my 7 RM without a slip-on recoil pad (it doesn't have a great recoil pad) I'm done after about 20 rounds. I probably wouldn't last 5 rounds with the RUM. My point was that it's possible to deal with the recoil very easily without doing a lot of mods to the rifle, if one is willing to live with shooting with a slip-on recoil pad on the bench. In the feild, it can be taken off, but I usually leave it on. Another very important consideration, which I'm sure I don't have to tell you, is shooting technique. Need to get that butt firmly in the pocket of the shoulder. Put it outside the pocket or a little loose and there will be consequences even with the slip-on. Done that. Anyway, I am now a believer in brakes to keep muzzle jump to a minimum so you can get back on target quickly. [/QUOTE]
