[QUOTE="Slimwallet, post: 125661, member: 6657"] Gents, I have access to some very nice private land here in Colorado with three different "stands" that overlook a park, ridge and a draw. Shots on deer and elk would be from 150 to max of 400 yards or so. Like to have a good 400 yard rifle. Almost bought a 300 Win Mag Sendero last week. Been concerned about recoil...getting old and quite a few miles on the chassis.... Anyway.. thought the Sendero or any "9-12" pound rifle would be heavy enough so I could stand the kick. But then got another idea.. how about the 325 WSM or 300 WSM? Looked a 325 WSM info but got afraid of the recoil as most rifles seem to be 7 pounds or so. Don't like the idea of a muzzle brake due to noise. But how about a 325 or 300 WSM in a gun with a Knoxx recoil stock? Might be lighter to tote than the Sendero and still not kick as much.... Your thoughts please.... Knoxx ok or not and how does this sound to you.... 300 WSM or 325 WSM in Remington or Howa with a Knoxx stock.....? Thanks, Slim [/QUOTE]
