Frankly, any discussion of "recoil" when discussing the 308, is laughable.
You've obviously never spent any time with a sub 6lb 308...
As compared to what, a 8 lb 458 Lott, a 10.5 lb 450NE or even a 7.5 340 Weatherby or a 375? But I have shot a Savage 110 ultralight t and found recoil to be a non-issue
