David, As someone stated, the H&H will kick far less than that 3 1/2" goose gun. In fact, felt recoil on my retired ( fairly heavy) Model 70 Win., is less than my wife's sub (barely) 9 pound, .338 Win. Mag. On the other hand, my 9 pound .375 AI (pushing 250's at 3130 fps) will get your attention, when shooting from the bench.
We also hate muzzle breaks.....none of our rifles have them! memtb
Edit: If you find yourself in the neighborhood..... drop by the house, I'll let you run some rounds thru my old .375 H&H. It needs to be shot some.....it's been in retirement for many years!
