Shooting often on a regular basic will also keep the mind in tune knowing the recoil is not as bas as you thought. Some rifle's even in a 30-06 can have tremdous recoil. I usually always get jumpy when i'm shooting a new rifle for the first time. Crazy as it sounds maybe i'm just hoping it don't come apart lmao. Shoot and mentally overcome the problem.

FastShootingCarts, I shoot mainly Ruger No 1's and they have an all together different kind of recoil. Its more of a push back recoil instead of a buck. I shoot a 375h&h and its manageable on the bench. I also take my 300 win mag to the local shoots when they're using 7BR's and 308's. Just have to let the barrel cool more.
