[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2288678, member: 115658"] The 3rd Reich guys felt the recoil of their M98's with steel butt plates & non-ergo stocks real bad & having been trained to shoot a 98 as my intro to center fire I can relate to what the 3rd Reich guys felt. I liked the stripper clips & controlled feed. Another factor to consider to reduce recoil in addition to reduction of bullet weight is to also [B]reduce the weight of the powder charge[/B]. Powder charge weight also must be considered in recoil reduction. The math shown the link includes powder weight.

Nice stocks & recoil pads on each rifle would increase shooting comfort. [/QUOTE]
