I have watched a lot of folks complain about Ruger 77 rifles recoiling "more than they should." More so than other make/models; apparently they are not too "public friendly."

M-77's aside, lots of folks move up to heavier recoiling rifles without correspondingly upgrading their knowledge of recoil management

Length of pull, drop, weight,quality rubber,eye relief/scope selection &mounting, simple psychology and lack of instruction or knowledge regarding recoil managementare the more common places folks go wrong. DIY isadmirable; however, knowledge and training are better solutions. Otherwise, soooo many folks just grope around in the darkand many give up and retreat to the popgun section and practice singing the magnumitis hymn.

It is a disease.

Of course, I have to include the disclaimer that the upshot of this post does not apply to those with deteriorated/deteriorating physical conditions or the meek or those whole just "don't think theycan do it." (They are right, they can't.)
