Default 700 in 300 win mag-----

Stopped by one of my local gunshops today and they have a model 700, black laminated stock, stainless in .300 Win Mag. I owned a BDL years ago chambered for the .300 and recently another in stainless chambered in .300 wsm. How much of a difference in recoil will I find between the .300 and .300 short mag. They are asking about $550 or so and the rifle looks to be well over 98 % if not almost factory new. This store ordered this gun for the original buyer and he just needs the cash. Just the rifle, no scope. Seems like a very fair price to me and I'm thinking with a decent scope this could be a very accurate rifle--should I run right over there and snap this thing up or do any of you have some words of advice or caution---I would appreciate some comments, pro or con---thanks-----John
