A flinch is a cunt of a thing to have mate. You can get rid of it, dry firing (practising) at home or at the range. Other options are to buy youth loaded 308 ammo or fit a decent recoil pad - limbsaver is a cheap option for T3's - if you do all that and you still can't tame the flinch it would be time to change caliber (imo) to say 243. Some people just dont like recoil, nothing to be ashamed of.

At least you have recognised the problem.

I would recommend some dry firing and more time at the range. Also what sort of ammo are you using? Ie 150gn sp or 165?

Thanks I will try that. Im quite tall and actually feel a little uncomfortable almost like the stock is to small. Unsure if its related but I will try again, as I say it was my first time firing a larger calibre. Hopefully something I can train out - I did manage to get a few where I was aiming.

I was using Remington Core-Lokt which I think was 150gn. I have some Winchester and Norma stuff as well. I was waiting to get to a proper range to see which works well - (I won the Norma, I don't think id want to use that regularly)
