Exactly what Petey said. However, with that said, I added weight to my .300 Win Mag to reduce the amount of felt recoil. I have a Ruger and it came with that horrible synthetic stock that was extremely light weight. So, I put a Hogue stock with full length bedding block and a Harris Bi-Pod on it. The extra weight has helped me deal with the recoil a lot better, and I actually have used the bipod a lot.
Then again, maybe shooting 3 1/2" magnums out of my 12 ga. has gotten me somewhat accustomed to heavy recoil.
