one of my 300 is a model 70 post 64 super grade and the 338 is a ruger and to me the 300 is way more unpleasant to shoot then the 338 even my 338 ultra mag is a model 700 isnt not that bad to shoot now my buddy has a boat paddle 300 and it makes your teeth feel like they are going to fall out so i no this is comparing apples to orangeses but hope this helps
