[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 996670, member: 30671"] The .308 I had many years back was in that 7+ lb range. It kicked like a mule with 200 grain bullets. The .300 Winchester Magnum I currently have pushes 14 lbs and is pleasant all afternoon. The weight is obviously a help, but modern stock technology, and muzzle break must be figured into it. Today that .308 could be put into a more user friendly package. You say it's a BR rifle. I'm assuming you mean bench rest. Nothing wrong with either cartridge, but I'd assess what my ballistic needs were, and engineer backwards from there. [/QUOTE]
