I think with many of us felt recoil is subjective and could be based upon our individual builds. I got the Remington 700 Sendero in .300RUM from a good friend because it hurt him to shoot it. He’s a great big, Ginormous human that is 295lbs and mostly solid muscle. I’m just a small framed guy and until my wife got me fat, was always rather scrawny and I can shoot it at least 20 times before I’ve had enough. But most .30-06 bolt rifles cause me pain after a few rounds.
I believe the Remington sendero 300 rum I had had less recoil than the 300winmag but it was a lot heavier too
I would actually like to put a heavier barrel on mine. An extra pound or two would really tame it down.
