About 6-7 yrs ago I had a 300 Win set up for LR p/dogs...rifle was a Savage Tactical w/Weaver T16 on it and a Choate Varminter stock...even @ 10# rifle weight the recoil was unpleasant with a volley of 20-25 rds in 40 minutes...sight picture was gone once the trigger was pulled...a spotter is a must..barrel heat also an issue with the light/heavy factory tube...richochet with the 175 gr SMKs was not desirable either...I have since dumped that project and now use the 260 AI or the 6XC with 8 twist barrels in 18# rifles that have a more manageable recoil level....and smaller appettite..
