[QUOTE="Chase723, post: 1865451, member: 21524"] Along with fundamentals of recoil management, weight and a suppressor and/or a muzzle brake are your best friend. The difference in recoil between an 8lb rifle and a 12-14lb rifle is substantial, put a brake or a suppressor on it and it’s night and day. If your rifle weighs 50% more and the recoil is further reduced by 50% it’s about 70% less total perceived recoil. That makes a massive difference. For perspective, shooting the XM2010 which is a 300 Win Mag shooting a 190gr SMKs and weighs 12-14lbs with a suppressor, I’ve shot 200-300 rounds at a time no problem. Try that with something weighing 7lbs unbraked. You’ll want to hang it up before 40. [/QUOTE]
