I have a Ruger M77 Magnum which weighs in at 9 3/4 pounds. My "pet load" is 77.3 grains of H335 pushing a 500 grain Swift A-Frame for a velocity of 2150 according to the Hornady Manual. I use Hornady Dangerous Game solids with the same charge, and the point of impact is the same. I find the recoil to be manageable, but stout! For a big bore rifle I think it is what one would expect. It is noticeably more comfortable to shoot than with Hornady Factory loads. I do shoot those too. I have a Leupold VXIII 1.5-5X20 in Warne QD rings on the rifle most of the time. I dont know the weight of the scope and rings, but they can be looked up on their websites I'm sure. I have had a CZ550 American Safari in the lott, and a Savage 116 Safari Magnum in .458 winchester magnum and must say the Lott is a bit more recoil. But its nice to have a rifle capable of firing the lott if the extra power is called for.
