[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 1096830, member: 11717"] I started with a Sendero 300 RUM without a brake and had another built on basically a Sendero platform with a brake. As some have said, recoil is different to different folks. I think a lot of that has to do with technique. I shot my unbraked Sendero with a slip on recoil pad and I could literally shoot it all day. I forgot my slip on one day at the range and shot it just wearing a Carhart jacket... put about 20 rounds through it with no problem, and I'm not a big guy, 5'7" 170 or so :rolleyes: It will indeed give you a jolt. But it's a matter of learning how to to absorb that jolt. You need to have the butt snugged up firmly in the pocket of your shoulder and you need to learn how to roll with it. That said, when I had my second 300 RUM built, I had a brake installed. Much more nice to shoot and much easier to get back on target. [/QUOTE]
