Thread: Interesting view on the 308 v new calibres

Maybe the recoil factor is guys using short barrel 308s . My 24 inch REM 308 using 165gr Hornady i dont even have a recoil pad on the end of my HS Presion stock and dont feel a thing.
Maybe if firing enough rounds i feel it at a range but if i had a limpsaver on it i could fire it all day for a week and be no problem.
Hunting with it shooting a animal is no difference than using a .22, never even notice any recoil at all and havnt even got any type of recoil pad on it. PS Dont use a suppresser either.
Still, like my 243 better , its still the King and no recoil with that also
