Wonders if I can get Core-Lokts for my 600 nitro express at Wal-Mart? hehe
In all seriousness how rifles kick is in how it's made and what type of model it's in. My 375 H&H doesn't kick all that much. I've had lesser calibers stomp me into mush in other makes of firearms. Don't get me wrong it still kicks but at least you can sit down behind it and have it sighted in one session. Some rifles need to go back to the drawing board and be redesigned.

I personally like the Model 70 alot better. The triggers on the new ones are nicer than the triggers on the new Rugers. Also, the Model 70 is probably a pound lighter. Might be nice. The barrel is free-floated. Not so with the Ruger. However, the 70 is probably $250 or so more expensive. That could go towards nicer glass.
