Factory pad and iron sights


The added weight of the scope helps mitigate felt recoil a bit…..my rifle has factory pad, but is dressed-up with a 1-4 Vortex!

Using a recoil calculator, the recoil on mine is almost identical to the recoil of my wife’s rifle….but her rifle/load has a faster recoil impulse! Recoil impulse speed seems to affect felt recoil quite a bit! Maybe different powders (burn rates) affect the felt recoil! And, of course stock fit! memtb
