[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 141797, member: 704"] I have a number of problems with that video on recoil. Look at minute 4:34 where the guy says as you can see the muzzle did not move. From behind and above that muzzle can move a lot and you can not see it. From the side I can see it. If you can see it at all it's lifting. The other thing is the ejection port looks like a short action to me not a 338 Lapua. You can not defy the physics of a 250 gr bullet going 3000 fps. With no suppressor or muzzle brake it's going to move you. Maybe if that shooter weighs 500 lbs and has rocks in his pocket I will believe that's a 338 Lapua. I have shot a 338 Lapua and you better have good eye relief or the scope is going to leave marks. This rifle isn't moving much at all. Lets not confuse recoil management with the fallacy that you can reduce rearward pulse in direct relation to mass and velocity of a projectile. Edit: Sounds good. I shoot a little different. I contact the butt pad, but not real firm. Just enough that there is no jump that kicks the snot out of me, and slides my bipod forward slightly. My left hand comes up under the very back of the butt and touches my shoulder. I use it to control elevation when not using a butt bag. With a butt bag I am adjusting elevation my squeezing the bag. In prone position I keep my face off the stock. Little to no cheek weld. [/QUOTE]
