Yogi000 it the nail dead centre- how the gun fits is so important to 'felt' recoil, as to make subjective critisism difficult to weed through.
; Above, Shamankungulo has a #1 in .375 that kicks him - The ones I fired, without scopes were very pleasant to shoot - easy in fact, yet I hate shooting most production .300 Win Mags or Wtby's - too sharp a recoil. I've shot .30/06's that would make you think you were shooting a .338Wm and .338's that seemed to kick no more than a good '06. Too, I re-stocked a 9 pound .338 for a friend that originally had a heavy fiberglass thumbhole stock that kicked me a harder than my 9 pound .458 2" shooting 510gr. solids at 2,060fps. for about 4,800 fpe.
: Some guys think a .505 barnes Supreme doesn't kick much - 1 shot was all I would shoot and never again. I must be getting old - don't like getting belted all over the country any more - even sold the 2".
