I have the Rem LSS and it's very pretty and a MAN way, it kicked. There are three things that need to be done:

1. Fit the stock to your length of pull, poor fitting stocks amplify inaccuricy. 35.00.

2. Install a quality recoil pad that can be fitted with your length of pull and contour of your sholder. Pachmar Decelerator.

3. If you install a muzzle break expect ot wear hearing protection, Walker Game Ear in one ear and plug in the other. The muzzle break works and decreases muzzle climb and recoil to the levels of 25.06.

of 7mm ultra mags?or were they 7mmremmags?

I say go for it. Just plan on buying a sims limb saver recoil pad. Also do not over look the 300-R.U.M. if you find one at a good price.

I own 3 Rums 338,300 and just picked up a 7mm SA for my boy.
I see alot of posts on here about recoil with these. I don't know how you shoot them,But I have found that by setting your rifle in a good rest on the bench for sighting in you should have no problem. In hunting situations you don't feel the recoil as the adrenlin level is high.
The 338 and 300 have recoil pads and brakes but I have found no need to brake the 7mm SA as to my 16 year old the recoil is manageable. We did install an after market pad though.
I was a little concerned about muzzle jump for follow-up shots that's why I went with the brakes,not to mention I picked up 2" on the barrel length.

The extra length of the brake does not in any way increase the effective barrel length as far as ballistics are concerned.

You are correct and I never thought about it to carefully. I was concerned when I bought the SS model that it only came with a 26" barrel and was not thinking. A brake doesn't add to the velocity or do anything for ballistics.[]
