[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2141481, member: 63925"] Good muzzle brake will certainly reduce felt recoil. You didn't mention bullet weight but consider shooting lighter bullets as well to reduce felt recoil. Only couple ways to reduce recoil in lighter rifles: muzzle brake, lighter bullets, lighter powder loads. Look at load tables to find powder that delivers velocity at lighter loads too. May find load that shoots well enough. Since Sendero is about 8.5, you really don't gain much unless you drop weight to no more than 7 IMO. [/QUOTE]
