[QUOTE="Quail Fat, post: 722480, member: 48"] Are you shooting 200gr bullets? I once had a Mauser .30-06 with a fricking metal buttplate, and it would tag me with a shoulder hickey after a few rounds.. The most brutal rifle I ever shot (I used to own a .460 Wby which would kick like hell) was a Winchester Ranger M-70 "Feather-Lite" .300 Win Mag. The rife weighed 6½ pounds and had a brick red hard thin rubber buttplate. It was like getting slammed in the shoulder by Babe Ruth swinging a Louisville Slugger at full force. One shot and I'd have to quit. That damn rifle was brutal! The Weatherby would blast my shoulder back about a foot, but that Winchester would destroy it. I've looked all over and cannot find one anywhere. I think it was some sadist at Winchester playing a joke on some suckers by making of few of them. God that rifle was pure hell to shoot.. [/QUOTE]
