[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1343015, member: 30902"] In short yes. Light rifles tend to hop on you and using a front rest that is not a bag tends to magnify the problem. My old 7mm Rem 700bdl without a brake on it had a bad hop shooting it off of an adjustable bench rest type front rest and even more shooting from a Harris bipod until I started putting a downward pull on it by looping the sling under my left arm. A soft front bag that absorbs the recoil or a brake will help you a lot if you get the right brake. [/QUOTE]
