[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1710061, member: 19988"] I’ve never shot a 416 Rigby. But I shot my fair share of 50 cals. M107 more times than I can count. It kicks like a 243 Win. Mr Barrett knows what’s he’s doing. I don’t Cringe when I lay the hammer down. Never said I did. I was trying to answer a question for someone on hear who asked about what ( I ) would choose for a long range hunting rifle between a 7 Mag and a 300 Win Mag. Then all the 300 Win Mag shooters got offended for some reason. I’m answering a question for someone I never met or no nothing about other than he/she wants to build a rifle. I do not know the sensitivity of that person on recoil, nor do I know his/her experience with firearms. All I told was facts. The 300 WM kicks a lot more than a 7 Mag. Weather 300 WM shooters like it or not there is nothing a 300 WM can do that a 7 Mag can’t. You can claim the 300 WM is better than the 7 Mag just as I can claim the 7 Mag is better than the 300 WM. This has gone on for decades between these 2 fine cartridges. Never the less there is nothing one can do over the other. It’s just the 7 Mag can do it with less recoil. People say they would choose a 300 WM for Elk over the 7 Mag cause it’s to small. Yet the most popular cartridge for elk is a 6.5 Cal.
