[QUOTE="BrandonA, post: 113786, member: 5944"] Welcome aboard! Kirby pretty much speaks the truth as far as it goes. I'm not the most knowlegable guy here but if your rifle came with the R3 recoil pad from remington you're probably set in that category. I'd look into finding a good round you'd like to shoot first (be it reloading a custom one or factory ammo which i don't really like). Once you have that settled I'd start shooting... The cost of ammo is a problem for many with these high magnum calibers so you may want to even look into reloading if you plan on shooting it a lot it'll end up being cheaper even if you do spend a good amount of money on reload tools up front. If you can take the blast of the 300 RUM and aren't afraid of it then you're ok, but most people find they want a brake on the bad boy. You'll never be as accurate if you're afraid of the kick and pull every shot but that's just my 2 cents! Your scope should be adequate even though like Kirby I prefer to use Leupolds on my rifles. I'd get some rounds down the barrel and decide how you're going to use the rifle then decide if you can withstand that kick if not I'd go for a brake first! I've been lucky so far and can withstand the 300 rum blast without a brake so far so I'm gonna stick without a brake for awhile! [/QUOTE]
