I’m curious on the consensus of this question. I have shot 12 gauge magnum loads, 30-06 and up to 45/70 without a recoil pad. Every other rifle I own that is larger had a buttpad. Curious if anyone has shot a 375 H&H or higher with just a steel or horn buttplate. If so, how bad was it?

I am only limited this to plains game (up to and including Eland) and NOT dangerous game.

I know there will be MANY passionate opinions, but please do not berate or...
