[QUOTE="loren holland, post: 2549347, member: 109888"] Gentlemen, I greatly appreciate the redponses so far. This is my take on summarizing… We already know that recoil tolerance is subjective , and as I suspected, answers range from 7 to 12 pounds. Lol. The majority of responses seem to indicate that 9-10 pounds is good for 300WM. Other responses say that a good brake can take that down to 8.5. Next, let me ask a reframing question. Since my current rifle is not just heavy, but hard to shoot offhand because of balance, what is your advice on making it handy? One response was to rebarrel or cut down the current barrel. I believe 300WM loses 40fps per inch. I think I’d be fine shooting a 180 at 2860 instead of 2960, to get a 22” inch barrel. [/QUOTE]
