[QUOTE="warboar21, post: 1060755, member: 88146"] Like many have said Recoil is subjective. To some like my coworker, the .308 out of an AR-10 is to much recoil for him. For others like myself it is not bad at all. I had a 300WM in the first generation Sendero. It looks like what they call the long range now. Anyways with scope, rings, sling, bipod, and loaded the gun weighed in at 13lbs. Shooting 200gr SMK over a full charge of Reloader-22 the recoil wasn't that bad. The only time it bothered me was when in the prone shooting slightly up hill. My friend turned me on to the P.A.S.T magnum shoulder pad that slips on like a jacket. I could use that while in the prone shooting and it protected my collar bone from the recoil. You could shoot 50-100 rounds a day with the shoulder pad on and not be to uncomfortable. I think the heaviest felt recoiling rifle I have shot was my friends Model 70 featherweight in 30-06 with 220gr round nose bullets. I was 16 years old then. We were sighting in our rifles for deer season and he grabbed the wrong ammo. Rather than head all the way back home we decided to try them out. Man o man those left a bruise on our shoulders. Of course I have shot a lot heavier recoiling rifles since then but I won't ever forget that one. [/QUOTE]
