Worst recoiling rifle that I ever shot, my buddy's Weatherby Ultralight in .300 Weatherby Magnum. I fired 3 rounds through it at the bench and the bolt handle bloddied the knuckles on my right hand. My buddy got bit by the scope on the eyebrow. By far worse than my .340 Weatherby Accumark or my Winchester 70 in .375 H&H. Just a sharp quick snap that packs a punch.
