My 62 is based on an 1760's Berks County rifle. That Hoyt barrel is a 46" swamped with a real beefy 1-1/8" breech but a real slender waist. With a nice chunk of maple on it, it comes in at just over 10lbs, but the 2-3" wide buttplate and long barrel mean recoil is nothing to get excited about at all with 324gr balls and 120gr 2F.
