[QUOTE="SMK1000plus, post: 1599826, member: 93846"] I'm not sure about your Encore but, my Winchester M70 Safari in 416 Rem Mag (ballistical twin of the 416 Rigby), with Barnes Vor-TX Safari 400gr TSXF recoil is not bad to me. The rifle is stock, with no muzzle brake, and has only a 1/4" solid rubber recoil pad. I have shot 60 rounds in a day off the bench, with another 40 rounds freehand, my wallet limit, on multiple occasions. I am 6'-0" and do weigh 230 lbs, maybe that helps more than I know. I've never been very recoil sensitive even shooting 350gr loads in a 378 Weatherby Mag or 500gr from a 458 Win Mag. I've only ever shot the full-house 400gr factory Barnes in the 416 Rem Mag M70 as they shoot incredibly well. As for how well, I'll address that in a minute... [/QUOTE]
