Utah -

I like that look very, very much! Who did the work for you? Did they also do the bolt release? ( I like that very much also)

I agree with both of you - 10lbs seemed heavy (but I am sure comfortable to shoot). 8.5 was my goal to start with, but I did not want to be unhappy with the recoil. I am thinking that I can compare the 9.3x62 recoil to my 300 H&H and it is real easy to shoot for me at 8.5 scoped.
