[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1474267, member: 10291"] In my earlier years of hunting when recoil management was a decent recoil pad, I found that with practice and conditioning, I could quickly acclimate myself to recoil. This was very evident with a couple of African safaris back in the 80’s using a 9 pound 375 H&H, and an 11 pound 500-450 H&H Double. Only hard, red rubber pads, no brakes. I was also about 40 pounds lighter. Back then, bench shooting the big cartridges was kept to a minimum, usually for just zeroing the rifle. In time, both felt not much different then my 30-06 Sporter, and I didn’t give recoil a second thought. Now, with LRH, and Tactical sports being a major emphasis, I focus quite heavily on recoil management. The combination of high precision shooting at long range and the ability to spot hits are greatly benefited by diligently managing the rifle and load for minimum recoil. I now much prefer the least amount of recoil that I can get away with, without sacrificing the required performance. [/QUOTE]
