Hunting & Fishing Recoil systems...Remington 721

[boisepaw]

I have an old-timers‘ Remington 721 in 30-06 that kicks like a mule.

Any suggestions to help my aching shoulder?

Pachmayr decelerator, the grind to fit kind so it doesn’t look like you got your rifle stuck in a beer koozie. Also, it will probably help to get a good check rest to put your eye in line with the scope without a bunch of muscle strain. Good recoil pad and making sure the rifle fits for LOP and cheek weld will take care of most of it. If it’s still too much recoil for your liking add a muzzle brake and some weight or try reduced loads.

Definately agree jphil108! Decelerator pad helped me a bunch when I tore crap in my shoulder and helped a buddy correct his flinch. Very good point about properly fitting the gun too.
