FNAR vs browning BAR vs Beneli R1 vs Remington 750 in 308

I noticed all most no recoil out of my 308 BAR. I think much of it is the way the stock is configured. It has a good recoil pad and the gas system and additonal weight helps. The 270 winchester featherweight was a light gun with a thin stock and crap recoil pad. That thing had a super sharp kick. I didn't even know I had developed a flynch until a shot the BAR and went to pull the trigger with the safety still on. The recoil was night and day differnt. By the end of my first shooting session with the BAR I was just calm and relaxed and putting the best groups I've ever shot on paper.

Yeh, testing yourself for flinch is one of the things discussed in the two threads to which I linked. For example, you can also have someone else load your magazine with a random mix of real cartridges and snap caps. One guy mentions that you can also tune up (or have a gunsmith do it) your trigger mechanism so that you have a more or less steady draw-back and cannot tell when the sear is going to release. Therefore you do not know when the bang stick is going to go "BANG". (I think some people call that "trigger creep" or excessive slack, though.) There are many other suggestions in those threads - worth a quick skim-thru.
