Anyone have experience with the 240 Weatherby? Ever since my neck surgery I've been overly recoil sensitive. Customer I'm doing some custom carpentry work for is a big Weatherby guy, has quite a collection of them and after he and I were talking, he mentioned I should try the 240. He swears by the 257 and says the 240 is less recoil than that, and he hates getting kicked.
I didn't even know there was a 240, and my limited experience with Weatherby is with the larger calibers like the 300 and a 460.
He's going to send one home with me to try out along with some ammo and if I like it, keep it. He says it's an extra he has, and it's got a scope already.
I know ammo is expensive for anything Weatherby, but I reload and 243 cal pills are easy to come by, only issue might be sourcing the brass and finding a powder that works. But, heavier rifle, wood Monte Carlo stock, but that's all I know of the gun. Just looking for any input on what to expect.
