i feel it sometimes. as i learned from trap, a proper shoulder technique was what i was missing. but i carry my recoil pad with me should i need it on my ar10. (i fixed the shotgun beating problem by buying a softer shooting one. LOL
)
a brake is one i want to explore very soon. if i use my recoil pad, it goes push the rifle a little forward and messed up my cheekweld and positioning.
i am fat so i have some fat up there to pad it a bit.
