I was at the range this last Thursday with my 26" barreled, stainless steel, Rem 700 LSS 375 RUM with a Magnum Kick-Eez recoil pad, and a Leupold 4.5-14 VX111 scope, this combo weighs in @ 9.5lbs. I shoot 260gr Accubonds @ 3020fps and 300gr Partitions @ 2750fps.
I was really leaning into the bench while I was shooting which isn't something that I usually due with this rifle. I also had a strap-on shoulder pad on.
I took a total of 15 shots and that was enough for me for the day. I can usually handle a lot of recoil but "WOW" that was definately enough........
When I got home and finally took off my shirt my wife looked over and asked who gave you the hicky on your shoulder. I look and saw a 2" wide 1" high area of bruising on my shoulder.
Believe it or not this rifle is one of my favorite rifle/cartridge combo's that I own.........
