[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 611894, member: 2011"] My 338 RUM is a Rem 700 Sporter (light barrel) 9 pounds loaded and ready to go. I use it single shot. Shot the 300 gr Berger @ 2735 FPS MV. Well under MOA @ 1200 yds. My grandson, 15 yo and 115 pounds shoots it all afternoon prone off of bipod(20 shots) w/no adverse effects. It has a Holland QD brake. It moves about an inch back then pulls forward. I would compare recoil experience to an 11 pound 270 Win shooting 140s @ 3200. More push than punch. Id recommend one of Jim See's Muscle Brakes for even greater reduction in felt recoil. I swapped the wood stock for a tupperware one for weight reduction. Less weight translates into less felt recoil with a brake. I can spot all shots, unless the shooting position is really bad, from 200 yds on out. The scope never leaves the target which says the recoil is straight back. Its a fine carry rig with 1200 yard capability if the shooting position is a good one. [/QUOTE]
