RE: Too much Kick?
Even though I really don't have any hunting use for them I just love the magnums for some reason. I love shooting my 45 acp compactat the range and 22's just bores me to tears. I only have 2 rifles right now and none of them are what I call big magnums by any sense but my 300suam and my 300wm are both big enough to be fun to shoot. The worse gun I have shot from the benchas far as recoilis my Rem. 870 Super Mag with 3.5" magnum loads of 2 1/4 OZ of copper 5 shot. It has something like 40+ pounds of recoil. I have shot the 50 BMG and it is awesome but with the giant muzzle break they have the recoil is actually light but the muzzle blast is something to behold. I hear the 700 nitro is a handful and I would jump at the chance to shoot it, the rounds go for about $110 each I hear. I just love big guns with lots of power.
