[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1610972, member: 87243"] Like I said though, the 11.5 lb 338 Norma that I just finished getting built (carbon six carbon barrel, stiller tac 338, manners EH1-A stock) recoils about in between my unbraked 13 lb .260 AI and 12 lb .308 did. Just shot 19 rounds from the prone position the other day and it did not cause me even slight discomfort, and it has way less recoil than my cousins 12 lb 7mm rem mag sending 180 vld's. That Terminator T3 brake is amazing. That's why I was hoping taking 3 lbs off would make recoil something like a standard factory (8-9 lb or so ready to hunt) 30-06 or 7mm rem mag, but wanted to talk to someone that has experience with this same/similar set up. The O.P. has a Fat Bastard brake on his 8 lb bare rifle, so finished would be probably 10 lbs with that sig scope, and the T3 brake reduces more recoil than the FB brake (according to brake comparison videos of the two side by side on the same rifle) but my rifle will also be about 1-1.5 lbs lighter, so it would likely even out.
