hrnhunter,
I owned a .300 ULA for several years. Shot elk. deer, and interior grizzly with it. The recoil is sharp and comes straight back but easily managed and feels a lot less than many heavier rifles.
I still have the rifle but had Melvin rebarrel it to .264....just because.
Buy it!
BTW I also had a 2.5X8 on mine and it held zero just fine.
