[QUOTE="Deleted member 25294, post: 723794"] I finally got my 338 RUM in today, it's the model 700 XCRII. I shot some 225 grain Hornady SST's at max load from a bipod and I was amazed at how mild the recoil was!! by putting my hand on top of the scope I was able to maintain my sight picture after each shot, my shoulder isn't even the slightest bit sore after 5 rounds from the prone position. I seriously feel that the 210 grain bullets I shoot from my 300 win mag have slightly more recoil than 225's from the 338 rum. Maybe Remington really designed the stock well, at any rate I will definitely not be needing a brake for this gun. I still haven't tried any 250 grain bullets yet so maybe there will be a big jump in recoil, I doubt it will be enough to consider excessive. So far I'm loving this round, and the craters it leaves in the dirt are something else! [/QUOTE]
