Every action has a equel but oppisite reaction. It boils down to bullet weight X speed = rifle weigt x speed ( recoil). The heavier the rifle the less the recoil will be. I have heard of people the installed a tube with quick silver in their stocks to help reduce the recoil. All of this might work, but remember your rifle becomes heavier, you might start the day with a rifle weighing 5.5 kg, but by noon it will be 20.

I hunt with a Sako 375,. one of the lightest 375's I know off, it only weighs 4.2 kg.

Yes it is kicking a bit harder but it is a pleasure to carry in the bush. Anyway I cannot recall the recoil when I shot at an animal, on the shooting range after 20 shots, yes my shoulder can feel it.

Forget all the funny things, after a couple of shots you get used to the recoil.
