[QUOTE="Smoak352, post: 592656, member: 39539"] I have a 300RUM and here are my suggestions. It sounds like you and the other 99% of the planet can only tolerate recoil to about a 7mm rem mag. If you really want to hang onto the rifle, get a better trigger. Jewel and Timney make triggers, Jewel being a little more expensive but adjustable down to 3oz. Having a 1.5lb trigger will help in the recoil department. The 300RUM burns a great deal of powder to shoot only marginaly faster than a 300wby, which kicks like a mule as well. Also, you should think about a lead sled, this heavy rest will take a lot of the kick out at the range. My best suggestion would be to buy a .270, 25-06, or .257wby. These will allow very flat shooting and have plenty of energy out to 600 yards for deer. They also have about 1/3 of the recoil of the big 300RUM. [/QUOTE]
