[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1364163, member: 103303"] It's a bit 'faster', but rifle weight plays a big part. A savage LRH weighs a lot more than an X-bolt. With a 30-06 x-bolt as your reference, the LRH might actually have less perceived recoil. If you can shoot an x-bolt 30-06 comfortably and well, you are far less sensitive than some! Bullet weight makes a difference too - shooting 200gr 30-06 loads is noticeably different than shooting 150gr! Here's a chart from chuck hawks - I am too lazy to find the link, the first column is rifle weight, column 2 is recoil energy in ft/lbs, and column 3 is recoil speed in ft/sec [/QUOTE]
