I honestly don't think the recoil on a 7mag is all that bad.
I usally shoot my friends rifle, kimber mauser 98 sporter with a
26"? barrel and butler creek stock. I've shot 60 rounds in an afternoon with no appreciable discomfort. Perhaps it is because I don't shoot the super heavy ones, 165? as a max. The recol on my enfield 1917 enfield sporter, with a steel buttplate, in '06 is more irritating. Shotgun slugs are my least favorite. Can anyone tell me how much worse 300's are than 7 mags?
