[QUOTE="Gary Myburgh, post: 636863, member: 45898"] Yep, .338's do recoil, but not nearly as badly as .375's, and they are MUCHHH better for long range shooting and, with heavier, tougher bullets (like the Barnes baded solid for example), will shoot just about clean through anything. Knockdown at range is also vastly superior to 7mm and 30cal mags. Personally, I consider the 338WM to be the ultimate all round african rifle. Only constraints are that you dont want to shoot anything you are intending to eat at close range, esp with a light bullet. Also would not rate it as a "charge stopper", but then I have yet to see anyone use a scoped rifle effectively in that role. Recoil can be tamed with a boss and magnum recoil pad - which make for a better long range set-up. All round, I like, i really do like. [/QUOTE]
