[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 107358, member: 2740"] I had suspected as much, but I didn't have any proof. A good brake or porting (as I had done) can tame the recoil of big boomers. I have learned alot over the last year or two about dealing with recoil. I used to tense up and smash the gun against my shoulder, and was getting a sore shoulder and inconsistent groups with my bigger guns. Since I learned to relax behind the gun and not smash it so tight to my shoulder, my groups have tightened up and perceived recoil is much less. I can shoot my 300WM equipped only with factory recoil pad from the bench without discomfort, and it doesn't jump up, merely slides back with me. I need to come up with a steady setup for field use before I go to Colorado this October. I tried a bipod but it bent the front sling stud after only a few shots. Good luck on finding a good field setup Sugarbear. [/QUOTE]
