[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 610710, member: 8873"] RangerBrad, You never know till you try, if your have one at your disposal why not give it a go. Shoot one of your in-law's rifles, preferably not the 8 pounder. I'm sure that dude would give you a good shove. A 14# .338 Lapua/RUM with a good brake shouldn't be bad at all. If you are ever in the central part of the state I will let you shoot mine, with 300 grainers. You definately know when it goes off, but it sure isn't scary. Also, the way you shoot it can come into play. I do most of my shooting prone with a bipod. The last time I shot it from a bench was at another member of this site's range and I think it gave him a good chuckle. I'm not used to letting it free recoil and the way I grip it made it about jump out of my hand. If what you want is power at distance, the .338 Lapua is gonna win that battle. But as stated, that performance comes with a price...to a point. The hardest kicking rifle I've ever owned was an extremely light 7x57mm, then a single shot 10 guage turkey gun, followed by a sporter weight .300 Win. [/QUOTE]
