The 300 Weatherby is not very violent compared to many of the new "magnum" offerings.
The fit of the stock and final weight of the rifle has a lot to do with how the rifle recoils.
My son has a Winchester Model 70 Supergrade in 300 Ultra Mag. that is not a bad gun to shoot. I will need to get it out and weigh it. I had a Weatherby made on a FN action by Weatherby in Southgate a long time ago that was somewhat of a "bell ringer". at the time. It only had a 24 inch barrel and was a pleasure to carry. I didn't mind the recoil and with that rifle and my old Steton, something was going to die.
