Train wreck lol. Nice. I do love a good dig from someone haha. Best thing is I don't react like most people on here and get all pissy lol. But thanks anyway :)

The statement was accustock has NOTHING to do with recoil. My response was to that. The stock DOES make a difference. Who cares how much. I fully agree it has very Very little impact. But it has got something to do with recoil. you can have a blast at me all you want and mention how a "silly little" pad does very little. But it's simple physics that a buffer that's soft between you and the rifle stock will allow less recoil TO BE FELT. Not to be decrease actual recoil.

Carry on :)

I'm not trying to get in your face but...

Most stocks have a good recoil pad. Most rifles are free floated. If you believe all the marketing hype then I have a Tikka blessed by elves (or was that Trolls) to sell you...what's all your assets worth, maybe you'll have enough.

Stock design may help reduce felt recoil but it won't be dramatic in something like a 338 LM unless your stock is off an old P-14. A free floated barrel may have some influence but I can't see how. Maybe you could measure it with the right eqipment but I'll stand up and say no way you could "feel" it. The only way to make a big diff is a brake or weight. Shooting a big magnum more than 10-20 times in a light rifle will beat the crap out of you. Anyone who says diifferent has one of three things; an honesty problem, a machismo problem, or a nervous system problem. My big fat sissy pad allows me to shoot 40-50 light loads out of my .308 Norma Mag (believe me it's ugly after about 25). I'd call it close to equal to an accustock equiped rifle in .300 WM. If your going to shoot a light .338 LM with out a brake I think you better bring the .22 cause it's going to be a short session otherwise.

You my friend really need to do a little more reading right here before you start laughing at a comment and reply based on what you learned by reading Savage ads.

And you my friend need to relax lol. What is it with this forum site and people overeacting :D

I don't need to read anything. I am not trying to make savages stock a selling point or whatever your trying to say. I have enough experience in my life from shooting that I can defend my statement which only mentioned that some areas that the savage rifles have will reduce felt recoil. I have fired my fair share of high calibre rifles and was just curios as to why someone thinks that this particular rifle brand stock has nothing to do with recoil.
 
"Accustock" is just the marketing name of an aluminum rail, enclosed in a polymer stock, that connects the action to the stock, to give it more stiffness, and less play, and is maketed to increase precision, just like bedding a stock.

It has nothing to do with the f**king recoil pad, and even less with reducing recoil. Please take at least 2 minutes of your life to read about accustock before you flame me.

When accustock came out, you could get the same rifle, with the same stock, accustock or not. only difference was the stiffness because of the aluminum rail. Oh yeah, and it probably adds a few ounces....

oh and the 110ba doesnt even have "accustock".
(Edit: seems that they added the "all aluminum accustock" category for 2012)

Hahaha!!! Awesome. I broke you lol. Pwned??? Hmmm. Hope your as accurate with you shooting as you are with your typing.

"Flamed" you? Haha really!? Classic.

I'm pretty bored of this thread now, so I'll let you all "flame" me while I'm gone. One opposition to opinion and it's like a war zone in here haha its great.

Bye
;)
 
I handled a LRH in 338 LM and my first impression was that it was light.

My second impression was that I wanted one.

I have a stock Rem 700 XCR in .375 RUM and that thing was a total basterd on recoil until I epoxied 40 ounces of #8 lead shot into the stock. Now it's right comfortable. The same thing could be done to the Savage LRH if a guy felt it was honestly too ornery.
 
Seems right, they have changed it recently (2012), last time I checked they stated No.

In their catalog, they have "polymer accustock"

And now they created a new category "all aluminum accustock"
They probably machine the accustock rail directly in the stock, and it bolts tight I guess.

My point is that "accustock" has nothing to do with the 10/110 BA stock itself. Wasnt even accustock last year.

Marketing thing IMO, I guess they were getting emails asking why those were not "accustock", and maybe it was hurting their sales. Obviously, you dont need "accustock" in an aluminum chassis....

The only .338LM I've shot was a Sako TRG-S, which isn't really all that heavy. I found the unbraked rifle to have recoil roughly equivalent to my .30-06 prior to receiving a new stock (original stock was a poor design that accented recoil). I personally don't think that it needs a brake, ESPECIALLY if it's a heavy barrelled rifle

I think I know that rifle. I agree, the recoil isn't that bad. I have a LW 340 Wby.that will jar your teeth much more. If you're going to spend the day at the bench though, more weight, a brake, and a good pad will be your friends. - dan
