[QUOTE="jaybo, post: 1488043, member: 46742"] I have a couple of Sakos in 75 and 85 Finnlite and the stocks are good compared to other factory stocks but the recoil pads are very hard. I also have a Tikka 300WM that I put in a McMillan Sako Hunter stock that has a decelerator recoil pad and it makes a big difference. I agree with WildRose, I shoot off of bags and brace the lower part of my body for impact. I use a small towel folded to help cushion my shoulder and because I figure when hunting I will have on thicker clothes so it mimics my hunting situation. I pull the rifle in tight to my shoulder and place my left hand on top of the scope above the front scope mount and apply slight pressure to prevent the rifle from jumping up. I relax the upper part of my body and concentrate on a smooth trigger pull. I have busted my nose twice and kissed it several times when working on a new round trying to relax too much to ensure accuracy so if using this method don’t relax too much in the beginning. Go slow and find out what works best for you. [/QUOTE]
