[QUOTE="dmj, post: 1094983, member: 73479"] I have a couple 300 rums. Well to be honest if you asked my wife, she'd tell you that it would be ok to own a couple and that I may have 3 or 4 to many:rolleyes:. Any way some have brakes and some don't. The lightest is right at 7 lbs bare rifle and the heaviest is what ever a rem. 700 bdl would weigh. The lightest is a custom by Kevin Weaver and has a brake and I don't mind shooting it at all, feel the recoil is very manageable. The rem 700 bdl doesn't have a brake and while I don't feel the recoil is just plan terrible, I will admit that I would not look forward to taking it to the range and run a box of shells through it. My Dad has one in a win. model 70 with no brake and a wood stock. That thing was down right miserable to shoot. If the rifle you are looking at has a brake I would think it would be very manageable if not then it might be a little on the stout side. The other thing to remember is that recoil effect every differently and different brakes perform differently. It would be nice if you could take the rifle out a shoot it a couple times. Good luck and have a great day. [/QUOTE]
