[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1057769, member: 30902"] The recoil is tolerable with a good muzzle brake and a good recoil pad. Absent those two it's pretty nasty which is why you see so many "barely used" "Like new with less than a box of shells through it" type ads here in the classifieds as well as other places. Most people find rather quickly that cannonitis causes problems with the shooting side neck and shoulder and are then willing to sell them at a bargain just to get away from them. The super magnums have a dedicated following but we accept that with that power comes a hell of a lot of recoil that has to be managed or ameliorated. I'm a pretty stout guy and not particularly recoil sensitive but absent a brake and good recoil pad my 300 wm's are all the recoil I want to put up with. That being said probably my all time favorite rifle to shoot just for fun is my 375 Ruger (bolt guns) and my 45-70's otherwise. [/QUOTE]
