[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 3012172, member: 14204"] I harvested antelope, deer (whitetail and muley), and elk with this setup. Antelope, deer, bear, and elk are possibilities in some of my hunting areas, so I prepare for the largest game. The recoil was stout but manageable. I am not recoil-sensitive, but most of my hunting rifles sport a muzzle device (muzzle brakes and suppressors). With a muzzle brake from Benchmark Tactical Brake ([URL]http://www.benchmark-barrels.com/Benchmark_Barrels_-_Muzzle_Brakes.html[/URL]), the felt recoil is that of a .308 Win. I understand muzzle brakes are not for everybody, but I have used them since 2003, and they are very effective in mitigating felt recoil. An effective muzzle brake serves two purposes: a reduction in felt recoil and a reduction in muzzle rise. The latter is often not realized. Being able to spot the target on impact is priceless.
