[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1239997, member: 14204"] Not sure if any of the above has muzzle brakes on. I know you prefer without but an effective (and plenty of them out there to choose from) muzzle brake reduces the felt recoil significantly, mine are to that of a .243s. I understand it's not for everybody due to increased noise level and muzzle blast; I didn't start using them until 2003 and I never looked back. I am not recoil sensitive but most of my rifles from .223/5.56 to .338 WM now sports muzzle brakes. An effective muzzle brake not only reduces felt recoil but also reduces muzzle rise/fall ... spotting your target on impact is priceless. Weight is your friend when it comes to felt recoil. My latest project build (.30 Lara) at 12 lbs hardly recoils as is a joy with a suppressor. Anyways, for a short barreled non-magnum chambering, you might want to consider the 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser, it has been around longer than our venerable .30-06 and it's still going strong specially in Europe. I have a Carl Gustaf carbine with 18" barrel in 6.5x55 that I started my boys hunting with at age 10. Good luck! Ed [/QUOTE]
