Recoil
Dito HL, I have Limbsavers on my 3.5" 875, Rem 30-06 and on my 300 wby mag. and I could tell a significant difference in all. Maybe I'm a wimp but I can concentrate on the shot at the range and nothing else. And yes when shooting at game you don't really notice either way. But if your going to practice a lot why not be comfortable instead of trying to show what a he-man you are. For me it made a big difference in my groups.
