not enough that I will buy any more, and on the 300's, hello APA brake. I can tell a very small difference in the 30.06. I got run over by a car, broken neck, and the resulting deterioration that comes with age. There are a couple of substitutes like springs or lead but they dont work as well from all the feedback I read. And, I had several people shoot them, they couldn't tell a difference at all, but, they were not very recoil sensitive. I do remember reading though that mercury was the way to go. If I handed you an identical 70 without the device, at least half couldn't tell it makes much difference. I am pretty close to finding a trapdoor-level pinking load but my attempts to do bench shooting to find an accurate stout load leave me with a hell of a flinch and a tenderness in my beer drinking arm. It adds weight, which helps some, and the mercury moving upwards slows recoil momentum "some", but, I have a guide gun that I am trying to do some load testing on.
I installed them myself, per the instructions, buttstock, and at the recommended up angle, so the mercury has to climb, under recoil. I have one in a Winchester model 12, 12 gauge. I have two more installed in same rifle set up 30.06's. But the best way to reduce recoil on the trap field is to use smaller, lighter loads.I have two installed in 300 Winchester magnums, both pre-64 model 70 heavy barrel, marksman stocked rifles I formerly shot at Camp Perry.
#Do mercury recoil reducers work full#
I also work with shooters who’ve had surgery or some debilitative illness that just does not allow them to absorb the full effect of recoil anymore. Its the same as adding a sidesaddle, or 16 shot extension tube, dead weight or whatever. I think the whole 'birdshot in a bag' trick wont work. That lightweight birdshot we use for matches feels about the same as it does with no mercury. But better options exist - such as stock hardware with shock absorbers, adding weight to the stock etc. The cumulative effect of hundreds or even thousands of rounds of comparatively mild sporting/trap/skeet loads also takes a toll on shooters, witness reverse triggers and mercury recoil reducers. What I do notice is softer recoil with slugs, buck and heavy shot loads compared to a non-mercury M1 or M2. They can mitigate recoil to a slight extent in trap guns. The various 'recoil reducers' just won't do bupkis for you, overall. Uh uh.įor benchwork, you're better off with a good Past Magnum shoulder pad. NO WAY was I gonna fire THAT rifle just for kicks. The aluminum used in the Edwards RECOIL REDUCER® is aviation grade, which is more durable than the lower grades, like those used in outdoor furniture. Not yet Since the first model was manufactured in 1965, Edwards has focused on quality. Wanted the barrel shortened and sights changed. Do Edwards RECOIL REDUCER® ever wear out.
A couple months ago I had a customer bring one in chambered in. Thanks Those guide guns are light, with big chamberings, and WILL cause pain. Do they really work and if so can someone recommend a specific one? Does anyone have an experience with the mercury recoil reducers How well do they work and how much weigh can I expect to add to the gun Any other. It has a recoil pad on it already but I am going too switch to a Limbsaver to see if that helps. I am attracted to the stock mounted reducers over a slip on one or a lead-sled type device for the "set it and forget it" factor. I do not want to add much weight but would like to find something to calm the old girl down some. I have a guide gun that I am trying to do some load testing on.
