Recoil of a Remington 700 Scindero 7mm Ultra Mag

Stone Cold · 09-02-2003, 07:12 AM

What can be added or changed to this rifle to lower the recoil on this rifle. My wife wants to shoot it and it kicks like a mule. Wit the fluted bull barrel, can a suppression system be added? Also, is there some type of recoil pad that can be added to the stock.

Thanks

Several people can put a muzzle brake on it that will help, and there are a couple of recoil-reducers available on the market.

http://www.probed2000.com/ is a guy that does a good job, but you did not say that the wife wants to hunt with it.

If she just wants to shoot it, without getting creamed...try putting a 10 pound bag of lead shot on her shoulder and use it like a p.a.s.t. shield. That will really dampen the recoil.

limb saver slip on recoil pad. made by sim tech. My buddy got on for his 300 ultra mag. Still scoots you back a little, but it take most of the sting out.
I think eders carrys them.

My wife is only about 5' 4" and petite. She shoots a Winchester Sporter .300, which is a bit lighter than a Sendero.

Before we ever took that thing to the range, we put a gel filled recoil pad (made by KICK EEZ www.kickeez.net ) and a muzzle break on it. I ran a couple of my hotter handloads through it and was very happy with the results.

I have a video of her shooting her first shots with the gun. There is very little muzzle climb and she never complains about going to the range.

Hope this helps.
