Great article, I own 2 identical Remington 700 XCR II rifles in .300 WM, they are my go-to rifles..... I find it amusing when guys whine about too much recoil with a .300 WM but they are fine with 30-06 ( some true pansys even whine about 30-06 recoil) I can tell very little difference between the recoil of these two....I have experienced far more recoil shooting 3.5" 12 ga pump shotguns and 3" slug guns.......I think the writer hit the nail on the head when he wrote that true rifle recoil starts at .338 WM.......Hb
