Wonder how much more kick than my .308.. Noticeably more, but its not bad. That is assuming similar weight rifles. If your 308 is an ultralight there might not be much difference at all. My Ruger weighs about 8 pounds complete and recoil is not unpleasant due to good stock design and a real good recoil pad. " A little solitude is a mighty precious thing "

Wonder how much more kick than my .308.. I had my 22" 7600 Whelen 4 port magnaported (not muzzle brake) and it felt like a pop gun after that. Kinda like a 8.5 lb 270 except that it was a 7.5 lb 35 Whelen if that helps.
