Are You Recoil Sensitive?

Can you shoot a magnum rifle as well as a 223 or a creedmoor?

  • Recoil does not bother me, so I shoot them the same

  • I shoot magnums better because they are more forgiving in wind

  • I shoot lower recoil better in any circumstances

  • I shoot low recoil better unsupported or off-hand, but about the same prone or from a bench

Big magnums just aren't as fun to shoot for me. I didn't think I was recoil sensitive until I bought a tikka lite in 300wm. I quickly sold it simply because it sucked to shoot more than a few rounds with it. After that I started paying more attention to recoil. Duck hunting with 3.5" 12ga isn't as fun after a box of shells. I even switched my primary turkey gun from 3.5" 12ga to a 410 with tungsten which kills birds just as dead. I do still own a 50bmg but that's different with the huge brake.

I didnt think I was really recoil sensitive shot 300 win mags forever. After this year I didn’t shoot anything over a 22 creedmoor and recently took the 300 back out it just wasn’t enjoyable not so much the rock but the movement of the reticle

Recoil doesn't bother me, but physics cannot be defeated. Shooting the high recoil stuff well requires a more concentrated effort than the stuff that doesn't. Shooting a high recoil rifle with bad body postitioning never goes well.

Still zero for choice 2. Where are all the "wind insurance" folks?
