I keep reading about how badly this rifle kicks, I shot 30 or so rounds thru it yesterday, wasn't bad at all.
Combination of 174 and some 180 grain FMJ bullets.
I might still get a recoil pad for it but it didn't kick nearly as bad as I expected it to.
Kept the distance down but it was surpisingly accurate at 50 meters. I didn't have my prescription glasses with me so shooting further would have been guesswork at best. I'm looking forward to zeroing it in at 100 meters.
It's been a while since I've been to a shooting range, when did every one start using bench mounts and bipods for casual shooting? I don't see the fun in basically locking down the weapon and trying to hit the same hole in a paper target over and over. Once I get the sights set I'd rather see what I can hit standing and prone than sitting in a padded chair and a bench. Different horses for different courses I guess.
