No **** at 20lbs
Remington asked him and the owner of Randy Custom Rifles out of Cody to design. Les was the architect of the design. Les sold it to Remington for lots of moolah. How's that grab ya? Some people just need to stay mute
I can't argue a bit about the stock playing a role. A few years ago I bought a Christensen Ridgeline in 7 mag to replace my Remington 700 sps in 7mag. Not sure about the stock itself making the difference in my scenario, but I sure do like that recoil pad on the Ridgeline. Those 2 guns were unbelievably different in the felt recoil. No brake on eitherGood point. My 340 has a break, custom stock/custom build, and I only shoot 200grs (I have shot bigger than that 250s and up to 300grs and then it makes a 7 seem like a 243)To be fair to the 7s, all the ones I have shot (probably a dozen different or more) were older guns with not the best stock designs as they were probably all 45yrs old now or older ( a Rem 700 or Model 70 from the 60s I'm sure kicks much harder with the same load then say a new Tikka, Howa, custom or newer 700 or 70). Since I have a couple 264s and several 300's, as at least person commented, there's only a small gap going to the 7mm and lil gain, thus I have no need for one. I'm sure you have all probably shot something that kicked pretty hard, but then the stock was changed to a more modern design and the recoil was reduced. Just one man's experience and opinion. If you wanna shoot something that stomps the shooter regardless of stock or build, try a 358 STA or a 505 Gibbs. Course they do that to the receiving end too.

Haha, it's minimal. I don't do free recoil. Rifles sits at around 11lbs as shown. The defensive edge brake Shaun did for me performs great. Rifle stays on target if your fundamentals are sound.It the photo shown, I'll bet that felt recoil is nutt'n….. using a 10' string to activate the trigger!
