[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1461790, member: 30902"] "Ultra Light" and "magnum" simply do not belong together in the same description of a rifle. The weight of your rifle is a large factor when it comes to felt/perceived recoil. I shot a buddy's ultralight 300wm "mountain rifle" years ago because he was having trouble getting it sighted in and needed a little help. After the first shot I just looked at him and said, "I think I found your problem". After three shots with it my right cheek and shoulder looked like I'd been kicked by a mule. I don't know for sure what it weighed but it had a skeletonized titanium action and a pencil thin, fluted, 20" bbl. My guess is that it was somewhere around 6lbs, it had a lightweight hollowed out fiberglass stock that felt like a fly swatter when you swung it around. Whatever thoughts I'd had prior to that about having something similar for backpack hunting died that day. [/QUOTE]
