My wife was with me at the gunstore recently, and fell in love with a used BLR in 358. She currently shoots (and loves) a Rem 141 in .35 rem, and a Sav 99 in .300 sav. She also enjoys my Win M-70 fwgt .25 WSSM and my Win M-12 20 ga. However, even though I'd get a soft recoil pad installed for her, I'm concerned about recoil being a bit much for her. So how do you think the .358 with a 1" shotgun style recoil pad would compare, say, to her .300 savage with the factory butplate. I told her I would think she'd feel about half again the recoil, and she says that would be OK. Do you think I should pick her up a new gun for Christmas?
