.300 Win Mag recoil
How much worse is the recoil on a Browning X Bolt in 300 Win Mag shooting 150 gr. bullets compared to a Remington 700 in 30-06 shooting 150 gr. bullets? Iv'e never shot a 300 so i don't know what to expect. Thanks in advance.

Tried to cut and paste it off the site but messed it up

I've never shot a xbolt but I do have a Remington 700 in 300 win mag and have shot Remington 700's in 30-06 and the recoil is a good bit more if you don't have a really good recoil pad. Now my 300 has a limbsaver recoil pad on it now big diffrence it feels about like my tikka 30-06 just alot louder. If you can handle a 7mag you can handle a 300

Can't say 150grs, but 180grs my .300win.mag. is quite stiff!
btw a .300win.mag. and 180gr bullets go together like PB&J! I see no reason to shoot a bullet lighter than 180grs from a .300 win mag. almost all 180grs shoot just as flat and carry more energy than 150/165. my advice, shoot 180grs and never look back. compared to a .30-06 I'd say the 06 is a puppy dog compared to a .300 mag. |
I've shot several different 300 win mags models and from different makers. There's a lot a variables that lead to how a rifle kicks. Weight of rifle, design of the stock, recoil pads and some synthetic stocks vs wood. There's a lot to go through and I'm sure opinions vary. Some don't have much more kick than a 30-06 and some feel like you got a hold of a 460 weatherby.
The ones I shot that seemed pretty mild were: Ruger No 1, Ruger 77 wood and synthetic the old molded stock. Remington Senedero, Remington 700 CDL, Winchester Model 70 wood stock. The ones that kicked a lot: Remington ADL synthetic, Winchester 70 synthetic, and the Weatherby Vanguard. Forgot the HOWA Hope that helps a bit. I haven't shot the X bolt but the Browning A bolts seemed like a well fitting rifle but never shot one in a 300 win mag. |

Like has been said, it depends on you and the gun/load. The 300 doesn't kick bad at all IMO... if you're into numbers, it'd be similar to the recoil of a 12ga and 1oz target loads from a bench.

Here's a very good thread about relative recoil....it's worth a few minutes of one's time!
