Re: H010B recoil mitigation
What I found to be helpful in cutting down the recoil, was going to a 300g bullet at 1800 fps.

Re: H010B recoil mitigation
Mags, brilliant diy idea. The additional padding would probably work wonders under a lace on or slip on pad. Thanks!Mags wrote:DIY. This works too. Cut to size/shape of your butt. Also trim out the adhesive strips. The curve give grip to the stock.

Welcome, Dadio, from the Show-Me-State!
Glad also you found the HRF....enjoy! I know you've already found a number of helpful Folk affording you their sage advice and experience.
That a very nice Henry rifle/caliber you have there. I've shot my son's-in-law .45-70, but very few rounds. Never got to the point of needing "recoil recovery!" Take care.

Cast lead 300 or 405gr going 1300fps work on most North American game.
Not near as brutal.

Re: H010B recoil mitigation
I would to change my ammo, before I modified my gun.
If you reload, making low recoil ammo is a no brainer.

Re: H010B recoil mitigation
I have a shotgun shooting vest with a recoil pad on the shoulder. I wear it when shooting heavy recoiling rifles at the range. ( and when shotgun shooting or bird hunting) It works pretty well and I don't have to modify or hang stuff on the gun.
