[QUOTE="arch408, post: 1628806, member: 59036"] If you like the caliber and is accurate, put a muzzle brake on it. I put a muzzle Blake on a fairly light .338 RUM with a light weight barrel that had a vicious recoil. A friend of mine said the the recoil was worse than his 416 Rigby. I built a brake using a 9/16 X 32 thread out of an old 8mm 98 Mauser barrel. I didn't trust the 1/2 X 28 pitch because I thought the barrel would be too thin. You would not have to machine the barrel very much to do it because the thread depth is so shallow. The brake is less than 3 inches long, has 4 ports on the side and 4 slightly smaller ports on top and works very well. Recoil and muzzle rise were drastically reduced. Several people have shot the rifle, including some one who had never shot big game rifle and nobody found the recoil excessive or objectionable. [/QUOTE]
