Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing Recoil Reductin through Stock Design???

Straight stocks seem to "hurt less" for me.



I have 2 Remington m7600s chambered in 35 Whelen. One has the Montecarlo stock. The other is straight.

Shooting the same exact 225gr handloads, the Montecarlo no question hurts more.


I have a Kimber Montana that's under 6lbs and in 358win and a m700 in a Browns Precision Pound'r with a straight comb....it's right about 6.25 scoped if I recall...250gr TTSX at 2350fps....recoil in both doesn't bother me.


A good recoil pad helps soften the blow. The 7600s have the factory plastic plates. I never thought in 400 years they'd feel so different.
