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.
I have a 99A straight stock carbine in .243 that will have you questioning the whole "light recoil" theory after 4 or 5 rounds.
But, as many have already pointed out any of the 3.5" turkey loads are just plain brutal.
