As far as recoil goes it all depends on whether it's a .300 Win. Mag., .300 Weatherby Mag. or .300 Remington Ultra Mag. Which one is it? If it's one of those "7 pound wonders" your shoulder may file suit for damages. :roll: Lawdog

I have a Remington model 710 in 300 magnum,it looks like the 700 in a synthedic stock.Mine shoots pretty good,but it does have a little kick.

I have a 700 in .300 mag. The rifle is laminate and not especially light. I like the gun although it's had some safety/trigger issues. The recoil isn't fun but I'm not a recreational shooter. I never feel the recoil in the field and I only shoot a few rounds each fall to make sure the scope is still on.
