It IS the rifle that makes the package interesting - to SOME! Without the brake and a 1 lb scope with accessaries, it's NOT so interesting anymore with ~60 ft-lbs recoil! I wrote on this after it was made official by Weatherby, comparing it to my .35 Whelen. I'll keep my 7.5 lb Whelen (all-up), THANK YOU VERY MUCH which has similar ballistics (2840 fps from a 225 AB) from a 22" barrel using less powder. Like the .338 RPM, it too has a brake reducing recoil to ~ 32 -33 ft-lbs. Quite tolerable compared to a .338 Win without a brake, and especially the .338 RPM.
