One other thought. For me its not the recoil for me thats hard to manage its the muzzle jump. If a gun recoils straight back its much easier to work with than a gun that dances around.
Agreed. I owned a NULA in .300 Win Mag and the recoil wasn't awful, but for some reason I couldn't keep the muzzle down despite the straight stock. I eventually sold it for that reason. Also had a Mark V in .300 Weatherby that went about 8.5 pounds with scope and was doing something like 3300 FPS with 180 factory loads and muzzle jump was much less. Don't miss the NULA in .300 but do miss the Weatherby a little.
