Deciding what stock to put on a 7mm remington magnum and need to make a decision as barrel channel needs to be opened up
with carbon stock it will weigh 3.2kg all up scoped and with radial muzzle brake
With b&c stock will weigh 3.6kg all up
How bad will recoil be with light stock and muzzle brake OR should I just go to heavier stock?
Must be a bloody light rifle to weigh 3.6 all up with a B&C on it, those things could sink a ship. With a good brake I cant see recoil being unmanageable no matter how light it is
The carbon stock and radial brake will be fine. My model 7 7 SAUM weighed 6.7lb, shot 162 amax at 2816fps. Recoil was not a problem. My current 7mm mag is 7.5lb with no brake, recoil is noticeably more.
not sure what my tikka T3 weighs but it's standard with a Zeiss hd5 on top so do your maths from the web, any way with a T2 break it feels like a 223 to shoot.
