Got my S&W M&P 10 308

You care about blasting people on your sides? If not, a competition chambered style one would be really effective. Just look at what three gun people are using.

The BABC is going to help with rise more than recoil. Not sure of any hybrids that would help you out there without being blasty.

BCM has a new one for 5.56. You might want to check them out to see if a 7.62 is available.

Fired the M&P 10 26 times today out of the PMAG 308 20 LR. I loaded it 3-5 rounds at a time, no malfunctions. It shot it with a Leupold Prismatic, all I have at the monent. I will mount a 3x9 or 4x16 late next week when I get the mounts. I shot 1 3/4" 3 shot groups at 100 yds with a 1X scope with a dot that is probably 3 MOA or larger. Also did I mention each shot hurt like hell.

For one who is used to a DDM4V7lw, the recoil is huge. I recently had to switch from left shoulder to right shoulder because of eye trouble. Had surgery on the right shoulder about 40 years ago, left a hole with no padding where the buttstock meets the shoulder. No issues with the 5.56, hurts like hell with the 308/150. I plan to get the .7" recoil pad for the Magpul ACS buttstock. I am sure a heavier scope will help mitigate recoil. I also "must" get a muzzle brake, if I am to continue down this path. Anyone have any suggestions? Please help. Thanks in advance.

Given that your shoulder is missing natural padding, my first thought would be to replace the padding...but do so with the sort of recoil pad that you wear on your shoulder, rather than replacing a recoil pad on the stock.

PAST recoil pads have a great rep, and you wouldn't have to worry about firing other guns that you don't have set up specifically for you.

I ordered a PAST Super Mag Plus Shield from Midway. It came today. I expect it to help.


I also got an Magpul Enhanced Rubber Butt-Pad, .7" thick, for the ACS stock. Every little bit should help.


The Leupold mount also came today. I will mount a scope and hopefully shoot some good groups on Saturday.

I doubt the scope will make any noticeable difference at all in the felt recoil. Then again, your shoulder is now built differently than mine. I also do not notice a difference with the .7 magpul pad, but maybe you will. A Surefire Muzzle Break makes a huge difference for me. Nice to add a can as well. Please let us know how accurate the gun is when you get a good scope and recoil reducing set up going on it. Flinching is not conducive to good groups;-)

Between the PAST Super Magnum Plus (1" thick), the .7 veltilated pad (althought it is hard), and the added weight of the scope, the recoil of the M&P 10 no longer hurts my damaged shoulder. I shot one group yesterday after sighting in. It was 5 shots in 1 3/4" at 100 yards with 150 grain PSP deer hunting bullets. The PSPs did flatten out in the magazine. I will try some JHPs soon. I believe the rifle will do much better once I figure out how to shoot it off a bench rest.
