[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2422712, member: 30902"] It's got to be mental on her part. The Rum has a fair bit more recoil than the PRC. What kind of recoil pad does the PRC Have? I'm a big fan of the Limbsavers and Pachmayr. EDTA: Reread your posts. If the Rum weighs 14lbs and the Browning is substantially lighter that could be your whole problem. Felt recoil is a combination of the weight of the rifle and the energy at the muzzle. You may not be able to get her to love it so you might want to consider stepping down to something like the 300wm or even the 7-375R, 6.5-375 Ruger, 7mmLRM, or 6.5LRM. Of course if you could find her a lowly old 264wm you might get her to fall in love with it real fast. At reasonable ranges the 6.5 and 7mm's are more than capable of taking anything with perhaps the exception of the largest Bears that can be found in N. America. A .264wm with a 1:8 or 1:7 twist can handle even the heavier 6.5 bullets available today with considerably less recoil. I'd start with trying to correct the issue though with a better brake and recoil pad if she's not already convinced it's time to go in another direction. The problem is you're going to take a considerable loss reselling it so I'd probably just rebarrel in something more user friendly if you think she'll be happy with that. [/QUOTE]
