learn to shoot good offhand and everything else comes easy.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

I’ve trained with the worlds greatest soldiers and I have neen baffled by how some folk who never picked up a gun can become some of the worlds greatest marksman (following instruction) and some folk who handled guns all their life were forever mediocre, then there were those who just could not shoot well. It's hard to break folks of bad habits if they dont have habits you can teach them the proper habits its amazing to witness too This. I'm sure an instructor would go nuts trying to break me of all of my bad shooting habits. A good friend of mine's daughter is a flat out killer at long range, and has been dropping deer in their tracks out to 500 yards from the day she started hunting. He bought her a 7-08 which she doesn't use. She always wants to use daddy's 30-378 Weatherby magnum. I told him he will have to just give her that gun. That's awesome. This sounds like a kid after my own heart.. Shooting a 30-378. I am going to guess she is not recoil adverse. To be fair I'm guessing she isn't shooting 50 rounds either, but..... Look at it this way... a 3" 12 gauge has 50+ lbs of recoil. The 30-378 has just over 40. Most people complain about a 30-06 which has about 20. Reconcile all that in your head and get back to me. Recoil.... psh! Your poor shoulder.

Recoil.... psh! Your poor shoulder. The gun has a muzzle brake, as all Mark V rifles in that chambering now come with a brake. She's about 5'-4" and 110 lbs. If the gun didn't have a brake it would probably knock her down. I've shot the rifle quite a lot myself and it's a very manageable rifle with the brake, just wear some hearing protection! I read an article a while back about Phil Shoemaker's daughter, Tia, and a custom rifle built for her by D'arcy Echols. It's a compact, lightweight 416 Remington magnum, without a brake. It weighs in at 8 lbs, fully loaded and scoped. I would be scared of that gun...

5.5 lb .338 win mag.Yes it hurt. Some rifles are a bad idea. My custom 338 win mag weighs in a little over 8 lbs scoped. I wouldn't want it any lighter.

Yea... I would rather tote the extra 2 pounds. It's an attention getter but it don't "hurt" for more than a few seconds. Kinda like getting a shot. In my book.... Works better than trying to figure out which way it went.

I'll have to weigh it, but I'd say my 375H&H is right at 7 pounds bare.

only prob with my 375 is I had to wrap a small pad on the rear of the trigger guard because it bruised my bird finger when it recoiled, otherwise not too bad. Less than a damn 835 with 3.5 turkey loads for sure

Less than a damn 835 with 3.5 turkey loads for sure That’s for sure. I have the old original 835. Twice it has bloodied my nose turned funny on a turkey. First time I was disoriented for a bit then the flopping wings straightens me back up. Lol. Now I shoot 3 inch and have a red dot on it.

I just don't get y'all sumbitches that choot cannons just to kill an ugly bird. I bought a turkey gun in a moment of weakness a couple of years ago. Only had two shells shot through it and been hunting one weekend. All it does now is take up space in my safe.
