[QUOTE="Dirty45, post: 1608163, member: 95227"] lookong for some thoughts, ideas, suggestions on this. Here is the set up: Savage 116 McGowan sporter barrel .280ai, 1:9 twist BC sporter stock Loads: 160AB, 168vld, 162 eldx I put this gun together for a mid-weight hunting gun. It weighs just under 8lbs. The issue is that the muzzle climb on it is insanely violent. The best groups come when I literally force the gun into the bags and force it down. Obviously this is not consistent or good with a hunting rifle . Some paths I’m looking at: -try 140 class loads. Not real keen on this, but a thought. -add a Witt clamp on brake. Not a huge fan if the bulkiness. -tear it apart and put on a proof. Would require ordering a stock...and a long wait. Spendy... I’ve had others shoot the gun with the same results and responses on the climb/recoil. Thoughts/ideas? [/QUOTE]
