I dont know about a good bit less. More like slightly less IME.

Depends on rifle/stock/weight.
My 300 wsm is a pussycat compared to my fils.
I hate his.


I have a Tikka T3 .300WSM, and that gun kicks harder than any other rifle I own to include my Ruger Hawkeye .338WM. The Tikka will be getting a replacement recoil pad in the near future.

No kidding.

I met a guy at the range once who was selling one for a decent price and was nice enough to let me shoot it to test accuracy before making my decision. It proved accurate enough, but after a 5-shot group I handed it back to him and said, “No, thanks. This thing kicks like a pissed-off horse!”

He told me right then that was why he was getting rid of it.


What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?
