[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1383943, member: 30902"] My obsessional rifle buying is demonstrated by buying at least two a year and rarely selling any of them HA! Too much recoil? I have a 7.5lbs Model 70 300 Rum that without a brake would wear on you shooting too many at the range. With the NWP brake on it I can shoot it all day. My new Model 70 custom .375 Ruger is a handful but even a box of shells a day out of it isn't too bad. I was shooting the .260 this afternoon though and was reminded that after weeks of shooting nothing but the 375 there are rifles that feel like BB guns in comparison. I'm not a particularly big guy but I've never felt the recoil from anything I've shot up through .50bmg in the field. At the range, well that's a whole nuther story. My advice? If you really want to appreciate the .280AI just keep a big boomer or two around and shoot them occasionally as well. [/QUOTE]
