9.3X62 in a 550 FS - how bad is it? Shooter is about 5'7, 135, and used to rapid-firing x54R out of a M39, even one-handed-shots. Comfortable with around 10 rounds of .30-06 180gr out of a 1903 Carbine (8lbs).
Would 9.3x62 be/feel significantly more than a .30-06? recoil lists show it around 33, vs 18-20 for a .30-06...
Also, as asked in another thread, does a hogback stock direct the recoil straighter into the shoulder or induce more muzzle-lift?
Thank you!
Since I actually have exactly the rifle you're asking about...
A little harder than a standard '06 with 180s, but not bad at all. About like an '06 with warmish 220s. If they can manage 10 rounds from an '06 carbine, they'll have no problem with the 550FS in 9.3x62. BT/DT, as my '06 weighs 7.75#, all up.
The weight of the CZ550FS makes the difference.
Very manageable rifle, and the power is impressive.
The 7.62x54R via the M44 is FAR worse.
