I was wondering where you two were. I'm not sqweemish to recoil. I can shoot my Remington Model 1100 12 gauge, all day long without a shirt on. 3 inch magnums, too! No problem. But this darn Ruger .300 magnum has got the hardest recoil pad I've ever seen! The .45-70 I own is a single shot with a steel butt plate that is so sharp, it alone could be used as a weapon. Come on Midas, I remember when they made good, heavy, quality rifles and I'm only 51 years old. Lets face it. The industry thinks that we are all couch potatoes and out of shape. I have to admit that if one can't carry a 8 to 9 pound rifle, you may want to lay off the Cheeto's and get off your ...... er..........rear and do some pushups or something. By the way, since I'm new, they read my posts before they post them. This is the reason why they don't show up behind you. Maybe I should have told them that I'm a Navy Veteran from Sub Group Six, huh? HA! Ha! It was a thought......... A fleeting one at that!

a good quality recoil pad will go a long ways towards making that ruger less irritating to shoot.

Recoil pads are very helpful, indeed.
