...and discovered that either I'm recoil-sensitive, or people aren't just whining about the pains of shooting off a bench. Those 180gr Core-Lokts hurt like heck.
Funny thing is I didn't notice the recoil when shooting from a standing position.
I'd boast about my tiny groups except that with a twenty-plus-mile-an-hour wind and the fact that I'm not used to shooting a .30-06, the best I could do was a bit under two inches. :'( Maybe with practice I'll improve... :
I remember the first time I shot a 12ga--my shoulder was sore for two days. Now, even with nothing but a t-shirt, I hardly notice the recoil. I sure hope the same happens for the .30-06. ;D
