[QUOTE="BIG MO, post: 310091, member: 18994"] I feel in an average weight rifle the 300wsm has noticeably less recoil than the 300wm, 7rm, and alot less recoil than the 300 weatherby. I also feel it may be a more inherently accurate cartridge design. Just my opinion and experience here so no one get your dander up. The aforementioned cartridges are all fantastic. The weatherby vangard has a pretty beefy action and although it is not a heavyweight, it is not a lightweight either. A 300wsm from this rifle has very reasonable recoil. I have seen multiple novice shooters acquire a rifle in this caliber and be totally comfortable with the recoil. I don't consider myself to be sensitive to recoil but whenever I am shooting for practice I utilize a past magum recoil pad when I am shooting a sporter weight highpower rifle to include a 30-06. Even if you feel recoil doesn't bother you, over time your mind will start to anticipate the recoil and worse case senario you could develop the dreaded flinch. Of course, when hunting no pad is needed and you will not notice much recoil from a 300wsm. As far as magnums go, a 300wsm in a 7-8 lb rifle is a pussycat with some pretty long fangs. [/QUOTE]
