Hey guys.
I have my eye on an old style 110 BA, the heavier one at 15 lbs in .338 LM.
I only shot a gun with a brake once, it was a .308 and I absolutely hated it.

With the heavier gun, I plan on getting an XLR Extreme buttstock. And in it, I will fill at least two of the stock cavities with either lead or those mercury recoil devises.
I''ll have to try and see which one helps reduce recoil the most. I guestimate lead in the buffer tube only would weight it down an other 2 lbs or so. And probably 3-4 lbs if 2-3 of the cavities are filled up with lead.

Weight is not an issue as it will be a prone gun to be moved around on my ATV and in my truck.

I would like to shoot the .338 LM without a brake. I never did shoot such a large caliber before. So I don't know what to expect.
What do you guys think? Will the recoil be manageable with the heavier 15 lbs rifle, a scope, bipod, and the stock filled with either lead or those mercury things?
