The rifle issue....again

[grayghost]

I own Rems and a Ruger, but never owned a CZ. My .300RUM Sendero kicks the living hell outta me. About 50 lbs of recoil with a 180 grain bullet, and the Sendero is not a light rifle. Feels like toting an M-60. My bullet choice with a .375 will be a 300 grainer, so we're looking at 55 lbs of recoil with a 7 pound gun; 48 lbs w/8 lb gun; 42 lbs with a 9 lb rifle. I want to avoid as much recoil as possible on DG. No muzzle brake for me as I want to avoid denuding the landscape so I'll have to look at other options once I decide upon which rifle to buy. Dom: I recently picked up a .350 Norma Mag with a Mauser 98 action and one of the most attractive stocks I've ever owned. It has a high Monte Carlo cheekpiece that allows instant eye to crosshair alignment upon mounting to my shoulder. Wish it were in 375 H&H. Good hunting, grayghost
