[Black hawk Axiom] Shock absorbing stocks on a bolt gun.

[DaveTN]

Does anyone have one of these on a bolt gun? I’m thinking about ordering one for my 700 VLS .308 but can’t seem to find anyone that has used them.

Any other energy absorbing stocks at a reasonable price?

make sure you get the an EER scope at least 4" and make sure you dont get too close. I have one on my 7400 and it will move......

I’m going to bump this up again and see if anyone has used this on a .308 bolt.

I will say they are some of the most flimsy stocks I have ever touched. That might be part of the "shock absorbing" but it doesn't do much for repeated accuracy with a stock like this.

If you are wanting to reduce recoil add a muzzle brake. They can make a 308 feel like a 223. Or add weight to your currect stock. Either one of these will reduce felt recoil and still maintain a certain amount of consistency.

How much did your accuracy deteriorate when you shot a rifle with this stock?

[Dolomite_supafly]

I never bought the stock based on how flimsy it was.

I do know from a lot of testing and precision shooting I have done that anytime there is any type of movement it affects accuracy, especailly harmonics. Even a bipod can effect accuracy with the harmonics is causes. There is a reason why you always hear about plastic stocks having accuracy issues unless they have a bedding block or an aluminum skeleton underneath. They are not very stabile unless they have a rigid core of some sort.

If you are only looking for recoil reduction I would look elsewhere. What is the gun going to be used for?
