I shot one then the other and could not understand the real reason!The pollen is killing me down here today but maybe the 2" longer barrel of the H&H played a role or the shape of the brass? My pre 64 ,300 win mag is staying and Ive moved 2 out of 4 others BUT its more from a collector standpoint, the 300 win mag is a kicking SOB! Period and Im not recoil adverse come the real shot vs paper. the very best winpoor [/quote]
High quality bench assembled rifles have stocks designed to minimize felt recoil. Here is nice Mauser actioned rifle from Johann....
There is little premium for names associated with this rifle...
