If you fear 30-06 recoil, watch what happens to this shooter's shoulder as he fires a Barrett Fieldcraft rifle that weighs 5.5 pounds. Swarovski Z5 3.5-18x44 scope and Talley rings add 19 ounces, so figure 6 pounds, 11 ounces as fired. That 150-grain load generates about 25.5 foot-pounds recoil at 15.5 fps velocity. And this is what it looks like. Piece of cake.
