Hey,
Have you all noticed a pattern concerning which brand/model of bolt action rifle has the least perceived recoil?
For example, I feel like (I know this is subjective) my synthetic stocked Rem 700 in 30/06 kicked much harder than my friend's synthetic stocked X-Bolt in 30/06, even though the Rem was significantly heavier. Then my Ruger M77 seemed about in the middle of the other two.
If you were to compare the leading makes/models of bolt action guns, which seem to recoil less in your opinion? Why do you think that is? Are there key elements of stock or action design that lend towards less perceived recoil?
