Most of those guys who flinch with their .30/06's shoot almost a whole row of ammo a year - that would be a side-ways row, I think.
; As to stance, my first .458's muzzle climbed no matter what I'm shooting at. The straighter stocked M70 didn't climb as much as come back. My .375 doesn't climb at all.
; It's all in the stock and how it fits, seems to me. I'm always relaxed shooting at game - get a bit excited when walking up to it if it's a big moose, but otherwise, not very ruffled with most game. Part of the climb is the relaxed hold I'd think.
: Big bears can make the neck hair stand up a bit, but when the sights are on them, dead still, rock solid. Wish I could hold that well during competition.
