The site is freaking out on me !
I said..... I started hunting with a 7mm rem mag long before I had any 300's. Deep down it's still my favorite. 300 RUM after that. My son hijacked my 7 mag. He likes how it puts the smack on deer and lope. He used to use a 243.
Thanks Mud

To me "recoil effect" means two things:
1. force rearward to my shoulder upon cartridge ignition
2. rise of firearm barrel, whether shotgun, rifle or pistol.
#1. rearward force, is mitigated by (a) soft butt pad/pistol grip (b) semi-auto gas or spring buffers or (c) in-buttstock mercury tube.
#2. rise of firearm, is mitigated by having a straight line recoil (or as close as possible) as with the Ruger Precision Rifle and AR rifles.
#2 is what always makes me avoid a buttstock with lots of drop to the heel of the pad i.e. traditional Weatherby stocks. I always try to get a stock with a comb that barely clears the bolt. A good example of this is Boyd's Classic laminated rifle stock. Beautifully designed and proportioned.

What did you end up doing with this rifle?
I know this is an old thread but wanted to inform you we figured out that unreliable part. Not sure how they are pointless. TONS of fun in many calibers. Ammo, brass, barrel lengths needs to be above 18" which is all that is needed for most of em.

Be interesting to hear from the OP and see how his rifle turned out, if he replaced the barrel, how it shoots now. He seemed pretty inexperienced, hopefully he's learned much in the process.
