The MkV stock is a work of art.

Anything with that round’s specs should kick like a mule.

Felt recoil from .300wby/MkV vs .308 rem700/win m70 is about the same.

Report is another matter entirely.

I suppose there’s some subjectivity to felt recoil, but I’m surprised that you found that your semi-auto AR kicks harder than your bolt-action Mark V. The AR isn’t heavy, but the Mark V doesn’t seem to be an especially heavy gun, either.

.300 win mag in an AR? Invite me out.

I have a .308 AR and that puppy is my hardest kicking gun.

Harder kicking than a .300 Weatherby MkV, a .50bmg mk 82, or a Ithica 37 featherlight shooting goose loads.

Got to question how many rounds that aluminum receiver will be good for.

“concealment cover”

I know that’s probably a typo, but which is it? Concealment or cover?

Setting aside the fact that it’s literally impossible to fire your weapon from complete cover…

Quibbles aside, looks like a neat technology. Battle HUDs are only a matter of time, it seems.
