I have 2 308 win.chambered rifles one is a savage bolt and the other is a savage 99. No matter how you load them they just kick like a mule.
I do know that they don't fit me and one day will get around to it,but even when loading down to 300 savage loads they just are not fun to shoot. I have had several try them and they say they kick more than their rifles in same caliber. They make the 30-378 seem enjoyable.
Ya know, 99s must fit me pretty well because I've shot both a 300sav and 308 in the same session as a 94 Winchester 30-30. I found that light Winchester to be worse than both of the "big" guns. And not by a small margin.
Though my dad hates the recoil from that same 308 worse than his h&r 30-06. The 30-06 is still better than the 30-30.
+1 to the nagant carbines
