I've shot the 300 WSM of my sons quite abit. He's had it for one season and has successfully taken one bear and one deer with it in northern Idaho. His is a Savage. I found the recoil to be very tolerable and the rifle accuracy to be very acceptable using factory Federal premium 180 grs. I haven't shot any other 300's to compare it to. Have a Great Day!--tr
