[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 728126, member: 3745"] You have mentioned that you are a big guy and weight is not that much of a factor, just recoil. A heavy gun will certainly have less felt recoil and will also help you shoot better. (easier to hold steady...... with a rest or bipod that is). My 14 year old daughter has a 338 Lapua that weighs in at 14.7lbs. It has a slab type brake (PK brake by Kirby at APS). The recoil is very mild, less punch than my Ruger No 1 6mm rem. Go with a heavy gun, 12+ lbs. Have an after market brake installed. Holland, APS pain killer (PK) or other similar brake. Even with a large magnum cartridge the recoil will be very mild. With a something like a 7mm or 300 win mag you should hardly feel it. [/QUOTE]
