[QUOTE="Doom2, post: 2814582, member: 108323"] To bend a recoil lug is going to require poor bedding and/or a very rigid shooter to avoid absorbing the recoil energy. One of the quickest ways to destroy a rifle years ago was to put the wood stock against the trunk of a tree and pull the trigger. Dumb stunt but it happened (no, not me). I cringe when I see people come to the range and put high a recoiling rifle with a wood stock in a lead sled with 50 lbs of weights. [/QUOTE]
