My 300 Win Mag weighs 7 pounds all up.
It has a brake on it
I have the same rifle in 257 Roy so I knew the 300 would thump me really hard.
I’m not recoil shy/sensitive but a 7 pound 300 WM is something I wasn’t to keen on testing my shoulder on. Although I may try it for comparison.
Most of my rifles weigh 6-7 pounds all up
