I know recoil is a very specific thing to each and every shooter..some find recoil in one rifle excessive while someone else finds the same rifle just fine..I have shot lightweight rifles chambered in the 300 Win mag.. and while I wouldnt want to shoot 100 rounds off the bench, I didn't find it intolerable..and willing to bet in the heat of the moment when you pull the trigger on that monster standing across the canyon, you won't feel a thing..
