[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1378082, member: 30902"] I've got two senderos in .300 RUM and even with the heavies they are very manageable. I have a Model 70 Classic Stainless in .300 Rum as well that comes in around 8lbs that I really enjoy both carrying and shooting. Stepping it up to the .338 Rum I think the advice you're getting above is pretty sound. With the right MB 12-13lbs should be quite tolerable. I wouldn't recommend going any lighter. My brother Jim shoots the Savage 110FCP which comes in around 11lbs loaded and while the recoil is manageable with 250's shooting it isn't a pleasant experience. Instead of a light composite stock you might want to consider a nice laminate. I can't necessarily explain the physics involved but the felt recoil is moderated quite a bit with hardwoods and laminates over composites. They seem to absorb/dampen more of the energy instead of transferring it more directly to the shooter. [/QUOTE]
