Any recommendations for a good butt absorber for a weatherby vanguard 300 magnum?

if you reload, tayloring a mild load is an option.
only as a last resort should one consider altering the gun itself.
the Past Shield in the link above is an assesory that will go with all your guns & make range practice more fun. when shooting in the field, you won't notice recoil.

If that does not work for you, look in the Brownells catalog for a recoil reducer. They have a good variety of them, and they all make a huge difference when you are sighting in. If you can stand it, it really is a great caliber to shoot! I love mine, and shoot it as often as I can.
Good luck!

Got Balistics?
Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.
If you are looking at a muzzle break I would recommend the David Gentry muzzle breaks. They are designed to have very little noise increase to the shooter (1 decibel increase with your caliber gun).
As for Boomers, recoil is in the eye of the holder. If it can hit you in the eye, it is a boomer. I have known many people who have been scope ring victims by smaller rifles than yours.[B)]

I use a 3-9 Leupold on my 416Rigby, and have never been hit by the scope (on it or anything else). Does that mean I need a bigger rifle?[:D]
Most cases of "scope eye" are preventable by using proper technique.

Anyways, after I switched to the sims limbsaver pad, I never had a problem and even my little cousins can shoot it too. Makes it nice when you can focus on the deer and not worry about proper technique.[;)]
