i have shot a light weight 12 gauge semi auto with 3 1/2 inche magnum turkey loads. without the butt pad. is that comparable? lol
I have a shot a boatload of light 12's and they are not the same as a 338, but the single worst pounding I have seen out of a 338winnie is that ruger boat paddle stocked gun. piss poor stock geometery, small surface area on the "pad", it curves the wrong way and the gun is reasonably light for a 338 to begin with.....that said, it is not that bad, but it could be a hell of a lot better.

I had a boat paddle Ruger .338 and IMO it was a puzzy cat. Sold it because it wasn't "reasonably light",that thing was close to 10lbs ready to hunt.A guy here on Hunt Wa bought it.
