[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1038635, member: 48043"] The easiest big bore to handle that I've shot is a 470 nitro express custom a local guy was building for a client. She felt like a rather stout 12 gauge slug gun. The worst recoil wise was a lightweight 416 remmy I touched off. I leaned in and she nearly picked me up... My front foot came up for sure. My lightweight 375h@h with full power loads is somewhat in the middle; hold her good or she'll smart you but she'll toss moa groups from the bench with ease. A 300tsx at 2550 fps or a 300hdy solid at 2650 fps is a good bit of power for an 8# rifle with no brake. The 50bmg's I've fired were pussycats; between the weight and the brake they never bothered me a bit. Get the 416; you can always run milder loads with 300gr or 350 gr bullets if the 400gr pills eat you up too much. I'd get a 416 or 450-400 but I already have a 405win and a [EMAIL="375h@h"]375h@h[/EMAIL]... I primarily hunt deer so even these are a bit much. [/QUOTE]
