[QUOTE="orifdoc, post: 2209973, member: 115070"] Get rid of it. Once you have a flinch, it’s incredibly hard to intuitively trust that rifle. The worst kicking gun I have is a 7mm-08 youth model. I’d rather shoot my .416 Rigby or .375 H&H. I know darn well I could solve the problem by putting a full/size stock on the thing, but I already hate the gun. P.S..... it’s for sale. ;) Life is short. Get rid of the thing and get something that shoots well and that you shoot well. The last thing you need is a wounded animal and a ruined hunt. You NEED a rifle that you shoulder, aim, and fire without EVER thinking about recoil. I’m not a fan of muzzle breaks at all - too much hearing loss from shooting already and it affects my life every day now. I do love cans and my rifle of choice these days is a custom .300 WM on a Rem 700 with an Ultra 5 silencer. I went a bit shorter on the barrel and it’s a bit of a slow .300, but still well above 30-06 velocities. With 190gr bullets perceived recoil is around a .243 and I wouldn’t hesitate to shoot at elk out to 800 yards. 10 year-old girls shoot it easily. [/QUOTE]
