this is by far the heaviest gun that i have ever held. what is the recoil going to be like? better or worse than a 300 win mag?
Ahhh...A heavy gun it is, especially when you add a scope. But, a more stable shooting platform for slugs you will not find.
I have never shot a 300 Win Mag so I cannot comment there...I can tell you that the recoil is worse than a 30-06 because I have fired one of them.
FWIW, the recoil of my Ultra Slugger with 2 3/4" Lightfield Hybred Sabots is less than what I was enduring when shooting my Rem 870 with 3" Rem Sluggers...All were manageable when hunting though...Who feels the recoil when shooting at a deer? Not me...
