[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2390041, member: 30902"] There's an old thread on here somewhere, "How to manage recoil" or "Managing Recoil" you should dig up. Many snipers use the "free recoil" method. Consistency is attained by handling it the same shot after shot and there are many ways of managing recoil that produce consistency. There's actually a chance of severely damaging your rifle and optics if the rifle is not allowed to move backward at all. I once saw a USO broken in this manner and that's about the toughest scope ever built. I've also seen scope ring mounting screws sheared off doing the same. The energy of recoil is going somewhere.
