[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2179206, member: 10755"] Paladin300. I don’t sweat the recoil or even consider it when choosing a cartridge. I sho my 10.5lb 375 Bee from prone and it does not have a brake on it. In fact, the only rifle I own with a brake on it is my 338-416 Rigby Improved. It needs one. I wouldn’t say I like recoil, but I have no problems with shooting my 416 Rigby or 458 Lott off a bench, the only rifle I have owned that was brutal was my 9lb 505 Gibbs. 600g bullets at 2350fps was too much for me. Needed to be 12lb minimum to tame that recoil. My 500 Nitro double is a pussycat shooting 570g @ 2150fps in it’s 15lb weight range. Recoil pulse has a lot to do with felt recoil. My 7STW feels sharper than my 300WM, both Sendero rifles and weigh virtually the same. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
