[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 1799405, member: 99519"] I believe a lot of you are missing components choices..... A liteweight rifle may move more when fired..but it doesnt necessarily have to recoild so bad as to hurt the shooter.... Two ways of remedying the situation... 1st.....a muzzlebrake....i don't use them..nkt one on any of my rifles or in the closet.....sure fire way to kick the recoil...but hate the extra noise no matter to savings....my ears are so bad i wouldn't wish it on anyone.....and even with plugs and head phones there's still going to be damage...... 2nd...and the easiest.....a Sims vibration recoil pad....EVERY RIFLE AND SHOTGUN I have has one....felt recoil is nothing but a push to the shoulder..... I bought 28g shotguns to introduce rhe ex and kid to shotgunning...i couldn't reload fast enough..clay pigeons off the electric launcher..clay rabbits along the ground to show them misses and hits...5 boxes a day of shells at a minimum....felt recoil is gone... Put them at the range with reasonable non-braked rifles...all they want to do is shoot....couple that with 22s and go home broke for another weeks pay...... Felt recoil can be worked out....recoil management is learned... A brake is not necessary..... The right size rifle with enough power to get the job done is all that is needed.... Handing a kid 10 years old a 300wm is not cool.... [/QUOTE]
