[QUOTE="GunsnFitness, post: 1417753, member: 104411"] I agree with all of the above listed solutions. Unfortunately most are at further investment on your end... if it was me I wouldn’t like a solution like that. (I’m cheap). So I agree with the idea of shooting a lower powered/recoil rifle to first become comfortable with shooting it and fully receiving the recoil and knowing it won’t hurt. Flinching comes from the anticipation of taking the recoil and so you won’t stop flinching until that is no longer an issue. Of course this only works if you have other lower powered stuff to shoot. (Sounds like you do). I would recommend starting with dry firing. Then the AR in a rested shooting position to emulate the longer range stuff. (Still something you know won’t hurt) Then a mid range powered rifle if you have one (.257 roberts, 6.5 creed, .260 etc). Alternatively you could also load the 7mag way down. It won’t do the caliber any justice but it’s not about the performance at this time, it’s about becoming comfortable with it. (Don’t know if you reload but it’s an option that’s cheaper than buying a whole new rifle.) And finally full loads hunting/match from the 7mag. I did a similar process with my girlfriend working her from zero shooting experience up to being comfortable shooting her .260. Started even as low as air soft, and worked our way up and now she’s consistent out to 300 with the .260! As I said my ideas are more along the lines of not investing additional money into the process. If money isn’t an issue, then the other stuff mentioned above are great solutions! Hope this was of some help. [/QUOTE]
