RE: Experience with the Ruger number one??
Portage, I find that, perhaps due to stock design, the recoil of a Number 1 doesn' t seem too severe. I find the 7mm Rem. Mag. recoil to be about the same as a good .30/' 06. The 7X57mm doesn' t seem to recoil hardy at all, and even the .375 H&H is not too bad, although you can tell it ain' t no .243!!
