[QUOTE="Cold Trigger Finger, post: 961790, member: 56732"] Aparantly it was very common to find slightly used 338 RUM model 700 s in gun shops in Washington and Oregon not too long after they first came out guys would buy them, get ringed real good or just get their bell rung from the recoil and then trade them for a standard cart rifle or a 7 or 300 mag. . Most guys can't take a moderate amount of recoil. Mine was nice and light and I kept it that way by putting a Leupold M8 fixed 4 power on it. Where I lived at the time was over run with brown bear and I was after a nice light deer rifle that would keep big bears off me. A guy I was hunting with totally ruined a chance for me to try it out on a good size bear then the next spring another friend REALLY wanted the rifle and I was on to the 375 Ruger so I sold it.
