[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1261553, member: 87243"] My dad has a 35 Whelen AI that I built a stock for, it has a 25" heavy Douglas barrel, not sure on the contour but its pretty heavy. Hunt ready weight is about 12 lbs. Shooting the 225 sierra bullets at 2850, recoil is very manageable. It does have a nice recoil pad on it though, and I'm not very recoil shy, when working up loads in my buddies Sporter A-bolt 300 win mag shooting 212 grain ELD-X bullets at 2950, I told him it had "decent recoil, but not too bad". After this hunting season, I don't know if he still calls me a friend ha ha. [/QUOTE]
