[QUOTE="McDewbie, post: 511647, member: 33945"] I was looking at a table of recoil for different bullets (I'm just rounding the numbers off for ease) the difference between the 7mm and the 300 mag was about 5 ft lbs and the difference between the 300 mag and the .308 was about 10 ft lbs. So somehow I'd have to bring down the recoil about 10 ft lbs, with weight and recoil pads and muzzle brakes, you guys think it possible? if so how? the weight of the scope/ rings alone should drop it about 4 ft lbs, I don't know what the muzzle brake and the recoil pad will do, so for the sake of argument lets say that they do nothing... any ideas how to up the weight more? or reduce recoil without spending a small fortune at the smith's or buying a new stock. PS my friends convinced me to go with the 300 magnum, but I'm only going to if i can get the math right (I can't legaly shoot a gun right now as I don't have my license so I have to shoot my friends, but they have neither a LRH or a 300 magnum, hence needing the math, I can't actually get a real feel for it) Thanks, Evan [/QUOTE]
