Just because YOU can't handle a .300 doesn't mean everyone is that way..
I find my .300 Win Mag, easier to shoot than my .270, despite being a half pound lighter, the .300 fits me a bit better. Could be the longer barrel on the .300 has something to do with it too the weight is a bit more toward the front(although I don't claim to be any kind of expert on what makes for more felt recoil).

I don't always shoot Mausers, but when I do...I prefer VZ-24s.
