[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 4514, member: 319"] I'll disagree. My 300 RUM weighs only a touch over 8 lbs and 95% of my shooting with it has been 240's chronographing in the 2970 range. Yes, it thumps you--especially from the bench. But with a good recoil pad on the stock (Pachmayr Decelerator), a good shoulder pad (Past Super Magnum Plus), and a scope with enough eye relief it can be set forward enough that it won't whack your eye (Leupold) it can be managed quite well if one puts his mind to it. I can shoot a dozen or so groups (three shot) in a sitting before I decide to call it quits. If it weighed 10 lbs, heck, it would be a ***** cat. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] I should point out, however, that I do most of my shooting from feild positions which is much easier on the shoulder and the added weight of the bi-pod helps even more. It's not for everybody, but if you don't like brakes and especially if you have experience shooting "buffalo-stopper"-type big bores, the RUM's can be shot well with some practice even with out a brake.
