[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1600171, member: 10755"] I have had only ONE rifle I did not enjoy shooting without a shooting pad, it was my CZ 550 Safari Classic in 505 Gibbs. As loaded with 3 rounds of 600gr Woodleigh it weighed 8.75lbs. Recoil was over 160lbs with the 600gr Woodleigh @ 2350fps. Even toning it down to 2100fps was painful without the shooting pad. I never considered myself recoil sensitive, own 416’s, 458’s, 500’s and really big cases like the 338-416 Rigby, RUM’s & Cheytac etc.............this 505 put me on my butt, not literally, but I didn’t like it one bit. It’s gone now. I DO NOT own a rifle other than my 338-416 that wears a brake. Just don’t see the need. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
