Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Recoil for the Average Shooter - Monte Carlo or Classic Design?

Depends. Older Remington 700BDL stocks literaly hurt me to tears in any caliber over .25-06. Similar style stocks (Winchester, CZ and others) do not have the same effect on me. Overall, I like the monte carlo style a bit better than the classic for recoil. I am 6'3" and 170.
