[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1474838, member: 10755"] The ONLY gun I have ever ‘moved on’ due to being completely unpleasant to shoot off the bench was a ‘boat paddle’ Ruger in 300WM. It was awful off the bench, almost as bad from sitting in the field and would bruise me badly. I have several 300’s in other rifles and have nary a problem shooting them even prone, it was just that rifles design that ‘got me’. Normally I don’t feel the recoil when shooting game. Even my 338’s and 375’s feel mild to me. I also shoot big bore comps with 375 Weatherby, 416 Rigby, 458 Lott, 404 Jeffrey and 505 Gibbs. The only rifle that I notice the recoil while shooting at game was my 505 Gibbs Safari Classic, it’s hard not to notice it, I admit that it hurt me to shoot it, but I am yet to develop a flinch because of it. I recently sold it for a considerable profit, regretfully. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
