[QUOTE="wildcat455, post: 1648843, member: 102653"] My 300 Win Mags range from 7.5 to 19 pounds (scoped weight). I currently have 5 of them. What can I say except I love the caliber? They all have recoil pads and muzzle brakes on them. they are all comfortable to shoot, the 2 heavy rigs being my bench/prone Long Range rifles weighing 19 and 15 pounds, I can be behind all day long and actually alternate shooting them to keep them cool. The lighter 3 at 7.5, 8.5 and 10 pounds are the the ones I actually hunt with. The 10 pounder (Sendero) actually sees use for hunting and long range target. When I was younger and my shoulder was in better shape, I had no need for the muzzle brakes, and used to chide that if the recoil was too much, guys should just put their purse on their shoulder and try shooting them. Nice thing about muzzle brakes, they can come off for hunting if you don’t like wearing hearing protection. Just sight it in without the brake. I wear electronic ear muffs that help me hear and keep my ears warm while hunting or shooting in cold weather. The electronics cut out when the rifle is fired, protecting my hearing. Anyway, it all depends on you as an individual how you want to set it up or what weight you run. Just takes a little thought and practice to establish how to do things and what works for you.
