I knew an attorney here that bought one for elk hunting. He asked me if I was interested in it. I passed. He said the recoil was unpleasant.
It's NO pussycat for sure BUT seriously, I had a 338 WM in a Ruger 77 O G tanger !!! It absolutely HURT me to shoot it>>>>> gone. I still have my 8 Mag. Stock & recoil PAD makes a diff.
