[QUOTE="cajun, post: 2825458, member: 9772"] Just make sure you understand how violent these rifles can be in a magnum round. They are also loud as hell even more so with a brake. If you shoot without ear protection in a hunting situation you will damage your hearing. I have bad tinnitus in left ear due to this. It’s not just recoil. The muzzle jump is very bad and you better be hanging on tight. Because of this they can be harder to shoot accurately. It’s not going to be something you will look forward to shooting lol. Fyi I have a 600 in 350 rem mag that shoots 200 gr barnes 2800 out of a 18” barrel. With a carbon stock it’s 6 lbs total weight. Hence my preference for the 6.5 rem mag with 140’s. [/QUOTE]
