Even in a 5 3/4 lb Kimber 7-08 Recoil is non-existent
Rrrright.
I shot a 7-08 for the first time last year, a Browning gold medallion, 3 shots and I had a bruise.
It surprised me how much it kicked.
Non existent is my 14lb, Bull Barrell.243.
Believe it or not zrex, I agree with you. To say that the recoil is nonexistant is untrue... There is recoil, but it is tolerable in a small gun .... more bearable in a heavier full sized gun, but both are ok with the slip on recoil pad.....

Yes, it is more than a .243 ... a whole lot more?? No .... is it noticeablly more ?? yes .... Is it too much ?? No... My wife can shoot mine fine.... But it does have a sims recoil pad on it.... Like I said....
