So I'm pretty much sure that I'm going to order a New Ultra Light Arms Rifle from Melvin.

I'm trying to get an idea of what recoil might be like from such a light weight rifle, and how it compares with what I'm used to. I'm not really recoil sensitive, so it may not make much difference anyway.

Here's my comparison.....

My current .300 Win. Mag. weighs 8 1/4 lbs with scope. I'm shooting 180gr. loads at around 3,000fps.

Compare that to a......

.30-06 shooting 165gr. loads at around 2900fps. in a rifle with a scoped weight of 6 1/4 lbs.

or...

.280 Rem. shooting 140gr. loads in the same 6 1/4 lb. rifle.


Your help would be appreciated
