[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 88710, member: 2011"] Here's my experience with a 338 Win mag in REM 700 BDL. Purchased it used. Prev. owner had stock shortened and cut at the exactly incorrect angle. I loaded up some 250s from book numbers and shot 3 shots leaning over the bench. First shot - pain [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] second shot - pain/pain/pain. Droped the rifle on the ground and did a bit of a rain dance. No kiddin' it really hurt! Got some double foam insullation for the third shot (the first two were lookin good-I'm dedicated [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]) Third shot went "in there" rifle had potential. Added 1.5 lbs to the weight of the stock. Lengthed it to normal pull, and cut the but square. Removed the dismal decelarator recoil pad and installed a trim to fit Limbsaver. Now I was good for any position, benchrest, off hand, kneeling and sitting. But was skeer'd of prone. Installed Holland QD brake. Cost me $160. Best thing I've ever done. I mostly shoot prone w/bipod and can do it all day. Accuracy isn't any better and isn't any worse. But groups are way more consistent. That is, no fliers. Except now the trigger needs replaced to be up to snuff. Also do most shooting over blow sand. No bottom holes - no dust. But always use ear protection. I'd recommend even while hunting. Having said all of that, I have a Ruger #1 in 375 H&H that is factory in every way. I shoot it from the bench and all other positions except prone with no trouble at all. I would never put a brake on it....its too purty [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
