Clearly recoil tolerance is personal. I had a "perfect elk rifle" built in .300 Win: McMillan, trued Rem 700, Shilen, Jewell, etc. and ended up parting it out because the .300 was just more recoil than I shot well.
My solution for a 9# 300WM was a suppressor, and now I can shoot it with any fatigue. With nothing on the muzzle my 'dream rifle,' similar to utah's description, was capable about ten shots before I called it a day. I can't imagine a NULA in 300.
