[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2738682, member: 118816"] LOL...you just described my first Model 70, 30-06, push feed and a hardwood stock. :) Yes it had recoil, but all rifles have recoil and there are ways to tame that recoil if so desired. I have owned 270, 308, 30-06 and 300WM for most of my life. Up until the 300WM recoil was and still is not an issue, however we all have out breaking points so to speak. I love the 300WM so instead of complaining about it I took steps to mitigate the recoil. Recoil pads and a good custom muzzle brake made my 300WM recoil similar to a 308, very manageable and comfortable to shoot. So my theory on recoil is that if you can't take it take steps to minimize it. Those who also choose to shoot the heavy magnums without any recoil mitigation seem to all have shoulder issues.
