[QUOTE="willfrye027, post: 2847889, member: 114992"] I’ve been trying to quantify this in terms of ft/lbs of recoil. I also won’t use a brake and can’t have a suppressor. Around 13 ft/lbs is the upper limit for me to spot shots easily from prone. For me a 9.5lb 25 creedmoor is about perfect and has plenty of oomph at 700 yards which is as far as I can shoot in good wind conditions. Currently working on a new 22 creedmoor shooting 88eld M that is very similar ballistics wise but should allow for a lighter weight rifle. Stock design is important. Negative comb really helps keep the recoil impulse straight back and prevents muzzle rise [/QUOTE]
