Hi,

Recently I'm planning to buy some rifles. There are some big calibre in my list, which I have never been shot before.
That brought me a question: How's its feels like? Will it beyond my control?

I did some research, there are some vidos, charts to compare, but still have no idea how's it supposed to feel like since
I have only shot a few rifles, some of it has muzzlebrake, some hasn't, or with recoil control like M16.

When compare to the chart, for example, .338LM (Don't know which rifle being shot) has very similar recoil as .375H&H.
Therefore, it seemed meaningless to compare different guns / calibres and recoil. This brought me another thought.

Is it possible to have list like a "Standard rifle list", so people can compare to the recoil with the one has recoil control?

The list in my mind is something like this:

"Standard rifle list"
(All without muzzlebrake, BOSS, blast control, silencer, and recoil control, JUST PLAIN rifle,
normal cartridge, and most popular calibre in Canada. Otherwise the list will go on forever.)

Recoil listed from low to high.
CZ455 .22LR
......
Tikka T3x LITE Stainless .308 Win
Remington 30-06 Sprg.
Remington .300 Win mag
......
Winchester Safari Ex .375H&H
etc,
etc,

For example, if someone's wondering how's Browning .300 Win Mag w/ BOSS recoil feels like, ss I personally have a
Browning .300Win Mag w/BOSS and Remington MTN LSS 30-06, so I can tell its recoil is between Rem 30-06, and
Tikka T3 .308.

Does this list make sense? The only problem I can imagine is .375H&H. Since only a few firearms in that calibre available,
the best answer I can say...: Feels like .375H&H's recoil.

There are some cartridge gaps left. Can anyone help to finished the list?

Thanks.

Perhaps a question more appropriate in the General Firearms discussion

This^^^^^^
The above chart is a great relative comparison of recoil. Perfect!

Rent/Borrow and try before you buy.

Yes, that's what I have found too. The problem is:
I realized that .338 LM has very similar recoil as .375H&H, but it's "plain rifle",
If I'd like to know, for example, 98B .338LM's recoil (w/ muzzlebrake),
there is no reference to tell how intense the recoil will be w/ muzzlebrake.

You're getting too far ahead of yourself. By the time you have any earthly reason to shoot a Lapua you won't need to ask whether it kicks or not. Nor will you care.

Just for fun, this video never gets old.
