[QUOTE="Deleted member 107796, post: 1553224"] Yes and no. I say that because I used to hate 30-06s because my only experience, at that point, was a friend's Browning that kicked like a mule. When I started shooting magnum rifles, I found that improving the recoil pad is THE way to show an inexperienced, young or female shooter, that recoil can be managed. All rifles will jump and even the biggest strongest man, can get that crease of blood that drips perfectly down the brow of the shooting eye, if the rifle is not held well. Hold it well, let it jump while keeping the sights on target and use a scope with 4"+ of eye relief. If a youngster or other is starting out, I understand and that's one thing, but rifles recoil and I'd rather see those that I train, try to master this than make it a limit of their shooting selection.
