Not for everyone that is for sure. I know a few fellas with scope ring brows and they don't want to shoot my 378 anymore. Problem is they never were shown how to shoot a heavy hitter. Most fellas let the shoulder go back and get contact from the scope, but if you lock your body solid with your shoulder then your whole body including your head moves back with recoil. You can't fight it you have to roll with it. I've been shooting my 378, 338 Lapua, for many years, love it. Many a moose or bear would have not been knocked down in heavy brush after going through a few trees.
