Survivor Recoil?
« on: January 23, 2011, 04:17:26 AM »
Is it my imagination or do the 308 Survivors tend to be a little abusive?  Any suggestions??

Never noticed the recoil when I had mine. Could be the stock configuration that's harder on some folks. I liked the style of the little gun but would have liked it in stainless better. Or nickled like the 357 mag survivor I owned years ago.

The 308 can get a little intense after long range sessions.  My son in law has one and traded me for a wood stock.  I put the survivor stock on my 223 where recoil isn't an issue.  He used a slip on pad for range sessions and took it off for hunting.

It's a bit abusive in the .308.  By the time I got it sighted in a group tested my shoulder was bruised for about a week.  (BTW, I was using sandbags and had a good cheek weld and proper pressure being held to my shoulder.)  The survivor rifles are a bad concept for an actual survival rifle.  There is no need for a bull bbl on a survival rifle plus it should have a 16" bbl anyway, the stock needs a recoil pad fitted, some form of flash hider should be attached w/ standard threads to accept a suppressor.  The list goes on...
