Hello, I have a very close friend that moved to VT and wants to buy a 300 win mag for long range shooting. He is worried about how much the recoil is because he has heard bad stories of the 300's recoil. If he didn't live so far away I would let him shoot mine. He shoots trap with a 12ga 1 1/8oz 8 shot at 1200fps which according to chuckhawks has a felt recoil of 23 ft.lbs. He shoots trap all day with that so do you think he could handle a 300 easily? I don't think it would be an issue but he wanted me to ask on for him on the forums because he doesn't have internet yet because he just finished his house.

Thanks!
