[QUOTE="Overkill338, post: 1660837, member: 110473"] I've always been a "recoil junky", I always figured it was because I was 6' and 140 lbs most of my life. So it "pushed" me more than hit me. Now that I'm back into shooting, I'm 180 lbs, so we will see how that goes. Recoil is a very complex topic though. For me, I don't even start taking extra breaths to pull the trigger until free recoil goes above 40 ft/lbs or so. Yet I had a cheap package Savage 110 in 7mm Rem Mag that left my shoulder looking like it was married to Bobby Brown lol That 7 mag, and setting the scope on a guys 375 H&H Winchester Super Grade is the most I've punished myself. He was shooting it in a lead sled against my advice. He learned why, the gun cant move, so the scope moves in the rings. He gave me $50 to set it back up for him. LoL [/QUOTE]
