Well the gun might actually end up weighting more than 20 lbs, especially if I pour lead in the XLR stock cavities.
Than the recoil absorbing buffer tube I could fit on which I know works very well on shotguns.
Than there is the 1 inch butt pad upgrade for the XLR buttstock.
Than there is also the GL-SHOCK Fab Defense stock if all else fails.
So I think it won't be as bad as I previously though.

I have a 17 lb 300winmag I could not stand shooting with a brake (huge concussion blast gave me headache, and I'm sure folk around me had a headache too).
I know exactly what you mean. Now imagine how much louder and more powerful the concussion would be on a .338 LM gun.

To me, the loudness of the gun creates the illusion that the gun recoils more than it actually does. I shot a .308 with a brake and I felt like it recoils more than a .308 without brake. I know tgat's not logical but how loud it was made me feel that way.
