[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1229208, member: 8873"] This is something that was thought of as well. After years of shooting Barretts (one of the worse rifles to shoot) I have become accustomed to recoil and large blasts and am not particularly recoil sensitive, I'm sure you know the feeling. This is not my hardest recoiling rifle. However I know that it can happen to anyone and anyone can have a bad day. So to test me I had my buddy load (or not) the rifle for me several times to check. I also took frequent brakes and did a little dry fire session in between to concentrate on form and executing the shot. I was also shooting my .408 and being spot on at 800 yards. That thing has a bit of a shove to it. Kinda weird to me and never experienced this, but started shooting it suppressed and the felt recoil seemed to increase. That is compared to just braked. I'm good with that, guess I'll have to be. I know I sure took a beating, realized I had a headache on the way home. [/QUOTE]
