Thanks Sheridan,that's what I was trying to do.

A synthetic stock helps over wood. And a limbsaver (or similar) recoil pad helps too. I've shot mine for many years.

I thought a wood stock would help because its heavier?

Browning X Bolt Stainless Stalker a good gun?

I own one in .338 Win Mag.............and love it !


I wish all my rifles were that good !!!

The heaviest stock will be the best one at reducing the recoil. A good recoil pad goes a long way.

Can't you get out to a local shooting range and see if someone has one that you can shoot?

I can handle a 7mm Rem Mag bolt action just fine,how bad is it compared to that?

Hi 13, click on the link that Sheridan posted on page 1,that will give you the numbers.

Target shooting my X 300 win, I can notice a difference from 180's to 150's. But when theres a deer on the other end can't tell.

+1.....any of the synthetics I have compared my wood stocks to I felt more recoil.
