For all you manly men who feel recoil is not an issue

This not to sell brakes or even promote them, this is about recoil.

I shoot a Mauser 98 .308. No recoil pad, steel butt plate to bash in heads as last resort. Yeah, it hurts.
The only way its even close to enjoyable is a big ass leather sissy pad on my shoulder. Three shots is about it before I really get freaked out about the recoil and flinch my shots into the next county.
All joking aside, its my only big game rifle right now, and I really like the Mauser action. Been tossing around the idea of switching stocks on it, synthetic, or maybe a new modern wood and fit it properly to me.

Glad you posted this and I can't agree more.
I know personally that 25 rounds on a braked 338 LM was enough for me - no problem admitting that.
Now if you want to talk recoil, my 6mmBRs are brutal....

3 rounds out of my BILs 300 win mag and I'm done... I find that thing just plain rude! I can shoot the 7mm rem mag all day long... is the difference the cartridge, the rifle, the fit?

the guy in this video has horrible seated shooting position. hes floating around unstable behind his rifle like one of those inflatable advertising wackyflailingarmguys
looks like some bad habits picked up by shooting calibers that allow bad shooting position and dont bite you...
some proper rifle holding position would be a big benefit to him not scoping himself.

Largely stock design and fit. They are not all that different.

Unless iou are shooting 140’s out of the 7 mag and 180’s out of the 300?
That would make a difference fir sure if both rifles are the same brand with factory stocks

If a 300 causes that much pain what a 30 lb pack must bring him to tears.
But he's probably never far from the truck anyways.

Why do you and your friends feel the need to make comments like that?
Do you know him? Do you know that he does not have an old injury that makes recoil more painful for him then it would be for you and I?
Is he a threat to you in some way? What do you gain by making such comments?
Do you think it impresses people.
I can assure you it does not impress me one little bit.
Let's suppose he is weak. What kind of individual would pick on the weak?

Keg, the very title of the thread is condescending......so there will be people give some back. Period. Most of the game I've harvested has been with an '06, some with a 270, but there is a fair # down with both my 300WM. Not sure if that makes me a manly man...........as long as the light cartridge fan boys keep spreading their gospel, there will be atheists taking them to task.
