[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1142803, member: 12193"] Recoil from a .300 will depend largely on which bullets you shoot. I have a 10 lb .300 Win that kicks hard with 208 grain bullets but is rather pleasant with the 168s. I like the Remington 700s personally but in my experience the factory sporter barrels are a crap shoot. If you go with the SPS I would plan on having a 1.5 moa rifle until you are able to re barrel. You may get a good shooter or you may not, but setting your expectations low is a good idea. Some of the heavy barreled 700s can shoot very well out of the box, such as the Sendero and 5R Milspec. They're a bit heavier than a sporter but usually will shoot around 1/2-3/4 moa with handloads. [/QUOTE]
