[QUOTE="Brent, post: 20815, member: 99"] Yes, I will be useing a brake, but was curious as to what additional weight would be needed in the stock to accomplish this, around 15 lbs. recoil. Velocity will be kept at near max, not reduced unless needed for accuracy improvement. I shoot a Ruger in .416wby without a muzzle brake now so heavy recoil doesn`t bother me much anymore. Just shot a lucky 3.1" 3 shot group at 700yds yesterday and a 6.2" at 600yds too. I love to shoot the .308s too, but neither one will do 2000yds like this one will. Any guesses at the gain in velocity over the .338-.416 Rigby IMP? Dave, my smith, just built a .300RUM with Rem. action, barrel blocked 36" Lilja barrel, Leopold scope, Jewell trigger and a heavy laminate blank was kept wide and flat at both ends for the bench, the weight is 24# I believe. It shoots under 1" groups with just 200gn Nosler partitians with the first loads at 500yds. When the 2 OZ. trigger is pulled, free recoil slides the rifle about 1.5" in the rest. A very sweet rifle.
