Chip; Thanks!The STW's I have fired were the M70 Classics,longer, heavier rifles,so it is hard to compare;this stock design of D'Arcy's is very good at mitigating rcoil in a magnum chambering.i fired the rifle off hand yesterday and it is very pleasant,not inclined to jump back hard or climb during recoil.It is more manageable than the 300's, to me anyway.

BTW I gotta give credit where it's due....my buddy Matt took the other Krieger #2 and built the same rifle,metal by Gene,and stock work by Charlie;veddy nice also and Charlie did a great job on the stock.

Yesterday at the range Matt said...."I'm gonna shoot the "Mizzum"........I said "The what?"...he said. "You know,the Mashburn Super Magnum, the MSM!" I laughed! grin
