An awful lot of what passes for recoil is wrapped up in stock design and weight.Atvarious times in the past I've had 300 Wins and Weatherby's around and have hunted with both;toss in the 300H&H for good measure.

Back in the 80's I found the 300 Weatherby was the fastest even if by a narrow margin,but the H&H was the most manageable of the three in rifles of like weight.

I recently shot a 300 Weatherby on a M70 whose owner ditched the McMillan Classic on it and replaced it with an Echols Legend.It made a difference all right.
