Recoil
@ 08:22 pm (GMT) |
Shawn BevinsI have been reading this forum for a little over a year. The subject of recoil, perceived or felt recoil is a common topic.As someone who shot a lot of skeet years ago, I tend to shy away from recoil. With very little cartilage in my right shoulder, its about not getting kicked now. I own a 264 mag that is is a pleasure to shoot but my 270 in an Encore that will jar your teeth. What stock designs aid the shooter in feeling less of the perceived recoil? Is a shorter length of pull better? I see Nathan mentions the cheek piece as a culprit. At what point does that lightweight rifle turn into a beast? |

thomas kitchenRe: Recoilhopefully nathan along to help soon. but one that push's recoil straight back into shooter / stock that is inline with the barrel etc. if you have a look at the wood stock thread you'll see that one of the bell and carlson design comes up, might be worth look at. there also a thread called recoil reducers and stock design gets mentioned in there, hope it helps |

Shawn BevinsRe: RecoilI reload everything so I can adjust a little bit. My 270 is fed 130 grainers with a muzzle velocity going about 3000 fps. The encore is light and I get the physics on that. It has a rubber butt pad. I also use a Ruger #1 in a 270 that is easy to shoot. Again, that has the same butt pad but considerably more weight.For the Encore, I am stuck with the stock design. Changing the butt pad is an option. The stock designs for future rifles is what I am after. |

Allen MaysRe: RecoilI recently purchased an inexpensive polymer stock 270 that kicks like a mule. Being a small framed guy, it was more than I could comfortably shoot. After the first day at the range, I bought a limbs aver recoil pad and it mad a tremendous difference. I am looking at purchasing some of the reduced recoil loads (I don't hand load- yet) made by Remington or Hornady as well. Those are inexpensive and simple ways to reduce the felt recoil. Of course, spending the money on a quality stock is ideal if you can afford it. |

Nathan FosterRe: RecoilHi Shawn, I believe the first part of my first book may be available as a free download on the shopping pages. This covers stock design. But yes, as you say, stock design is a limiting factor with the Encore. The butt stock is pitched very low relative to the line of the bore. I also find that the scope mounts are set in such a way that the scope can end mounted too close to the shooter's eye. |

Shawn BevinsRe: RecoilGot it.. Thanks Nathan. Much appreciated on the replies.My dad had an 06 when I was a kid in a model 70. That thing kicked like a mule with 180 grain loads. I have owned one since. |

John SmithRe: RecoilIn my 1966 Mannlicher .270 carbine I reload a Nosler 160 grain Partitionbullet with RL 22 and have no trouble with recoil. Maybe I'm just lucky that the stock fits me well. |
