I'll be the first to say while i make good hits with a rifle i am recoil sensitive / Shy
all skin and bones in the shoulder area , so no padding . And ive got issues with the thump of firing a centerfire rifle, or maybe its the bolt carrier moving back and forth that i dont like the jump near my face?
Another problem is even in .223/5.45 i end up with my shoulder withe small broken red marks from the stockall around in my shoulder and im not a fan.
Ive almost given up trying to shoot rifles except in .22lr
I love the ak platform as its fun and easy to use ,easy to take apart. my sgl31 is nice to look at but if i dont want to shoot it due to being uncomfortable with it , whats the point. Should try the ar-15 again. I think it had a little less jump to it ? and now considering a heavy bolt action remington 700 sps tac that has just one big houge grip stock on it to maybe try to reduce the recoil of the .223/5.45 recoil?
I gues part of it could be the regular metal ended stock on the ak platform? Any ideas should i try something else in the stock department? Or quit dumping money into rifles.
One thing i dont like is the idea of having to use a PAST pad thing that wraps around my shoulder . One more inconvience to shooting
Should i try out an ar-15 again? Or go to the bolt action ? Or save the money and buy a .22?
