i have had several of the remington ks stocks from brown and never had one lighter than 26 ozs
Then they are not PoundR's. I have owned some KS, handled even more and none of them were Brown PoundR's.
On the recoil issue....I found the PoundR snappy and for me even a 7RM is on the edge. Like a Kimber Montana in 7mm WSM, which I also don't care for.
The PoundR is at its best in 270/280 or below. I know others don't feel the same.
