My Remington 700AWR chambered in 7mmSTW. Has a brake, so felt recoil is very manageable, but damn is it loud. Painfully so. I shot a Pronghorn while standing at the base of a cliff. The echo off the rock wall actually hurt my right ear for hours afterwards. I now insert earplugs before even taking the thing out of the case. Plugs and muffs while at the range.
