shot an awesome rifle today

[mr.big]

Cooper Model 52 walnut stock,blued action, stainless fluted bbl,in 338-06,with the 3.5-10 Leupold with the B&C reticle,,dead on at 100 yards the 2nd line in the scope was putting the 225 Nosler Accubond right on the 6 inch gong at 300 yards every shot,,,

never shot a group,but man the thing handles sweet and hits pretty dang good,,Daddy takin it on an elk hunt in about 6 weeks,,

he also had a Sako varmint of some kind that had a set trigger,,you pushed the trigger forward to set it and it is real close to a Jewel,,not quite but lightest factory trigger I ever saw this side of the 40X,,shot a 3 shot group at 300 with 130 Bergers less than 2 inches easy,,it`s a 260,,

What's the recoil like? A necked up aught six to handle 250 or so grain bullets has gotta be a pretty sharp and hard recoil impulse?

 

[mr.big]

I shoot my 300 RUM quite a bit and it pales in comparison,,

I shot it prone 4-5 times and it wa not bad at all to me,,225 Accubond and H414 powder,,something like 55 grs ,

it reminded me of a 7mm Rem Mag with 162 gr bullets

I have a regular 338 and love it. I cannot tell the diverence
in recoil between it and my 300 Ultra mag.

To me, both of them have more of a push that a sharp recoil.
They both shoot good, think i'll keep them both.
