[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1599481, member: 75451"] I agree, a properly fitted rifle and a good recoil pad, should tame most any rifle....except for a few of the exceptional cartridges. Not saying, that all of us should be able to sit behind a 460 Weatherby at the bench for 20 rounds without discomfort! My wife shots her sub-9 pound .338 WM ( no brake) exceptionally well....but doesn’t “enjoy” shooting it from the bench. But from field positions, including prone....she’s pretty darn lethal! A friend of ours watch her “smoke” a cow elk at about 150 yards in fairly heavy timber, shooting prone downhill. She picked out a tiny opening in the trees, and waited for the elk to put a shoulder in that little “window”! Our neighbor was more than impressed! I shot a friend’s 416 Rigby in a #1 Ruger, I thought it was a “***** cat”.....but, I was standing, shooting offhand. From a bench....”my mileage may vary”! ;) Unless someone has a medical condition which will not allow shooting a heavy recoil rifle, any of us should be able to conquer it. In summary: How bad do you want it! memtb [/QUOTE]
