My dad sold his bavarian 338 and does not miss it. It does not have a recoil pad and a gunsmith (Ron Henrickson out of Edmonton) would not attempt to put one on because of the stock shape and the chance of damaging it in the process. The gun hits hard from the bench and is not fun to shoot. I've shot magnums off the bench plenty of times, but that 338 was different LOL!!
