Savage Axis 30.06 recoil

[jeffman3]

I'm looking at an Axis 30-06. First thing I am going to do, is put it in an aftermarket laminate stock with an "upgraded" recoil pad. That is where I would start. (I too have a sensitive shoulder.) Second, is to work up some 125 grain loads for it, for hunting deer sized game. (For the big stuff I'll work up heavier loads.) A trigger is in the mix somewhere sometime too. Good luck!

tell ya what, I'm 81, 6' 1" 215 lbs. but with that Authur Ritus in both shoulders, from the bench, any recoil hurts. solution, a Past magnum recoil pad. have shot 300 WIN mag many times at the bench without TOO much discomfort. when shooting a couple shots at game, (it you need more than that, something's wrong) you never feel that recoil anyhow. never go to the range without it.
