[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1633131, member: 9308"] It's a hunting rifle, right? Light was the goal and .300WSM power was part of the formula. So you've got the things you wanted, but along comes recoil. It's spoiling the party. Totally get it. Forget the muzzle brake. For a hunting gun, it will deafen you. Going to stop, ask the animal to hang on a minute so you can put on ear muffs or ear plugs? Yeah...no. So the suppressor route would work. Less recoil. Less noise. But now you are adding weight. Hmmm... Suggestion - leave the gun 'as is'. When shooting it off the bench, you wear this: [ATTACH=full]133655[/ATTACH] It'll cost you $32 or so (Midway). When you are hunting, you will take one, maybe two shots. You'll have thicker hunting clothes on and probably won't even notice the recoil then. I feel your pain - literally. I have a Remington Titanium in .308Win that is super light, which is great. But the recoil velocity and force is greater than my .338 Win Mag (which is a heavier gun, to be sure, but still.) Loved the rifle but from the bench or practicing off-hand, it was brutal. The PAST recoil pad shield at $32 'fixes' the issue. Good luck. Your rifle sounds like an awesome hunting tool. Don't mess it up! [/QUOTE]
