I have shot everything up to 460 Weatherby and have handled it all OK. BUT I am north of 50 now and am finding that I am not liking recoil as much as I once did. The hardest kicking rifle I ever did shoot was a 338 mag. I don't know if it was stock design or what but that sucker literally hurt when it went off. It was like getting hit with a baseball bat sharp and fast.


If you find yourself in a hole....quit digging
