    bottom line,its a resonably heavy .223 so recoil isnt going to be huge issue,you can sometimes break the rules with such a combo and get away with it.

    EG RUMPY &I were up hunting wallabies with his young fella...a wallaby was spotted about 125 yards away,problem was we were standing in tall tussocks,so I gave my .223 to his young fella. Rumpy stood his .270 upright and held end of his muzzle and forestock of my rifle,lad got in behind scope whith buttplate ON TOP of his shoulder as stock too long for him,I held buttplate in hands and lad lined up wobbly and blew its neck apart with 50grns of hornadies finest.....
    try that with any thing bigger and would be a disaster.

    just get in behind rifle,line up target,close eyes for 10seconds,open and see if still close to bullseye...if not move stuff till you do stay there. then shoot.
