Awesome guys, thanks for the responses. Sounds like if I go with the 9.3 I'll defintely upgrade the pad on it from the wafer it comes with. I'm really not very recoil sensative at all, but do enjoy shooting my rifles and hunting them. To me, the more practice you have with a rifle, the more familiar you get with it. Muscle memory means a ton when you have a quick window or snap-shot come up. I like the idea of the 9.3 as I'm planning on doing an Africa trip for my 50th bday in a few years and plan to go back to AK maybe once or twice more until then. I'll probably get more use out of the 280A or 257 RSI, but I already have calibers very similar to them in rifles I really like. I know, we don't need an excuse to buy another rifle, I'm just trying to expand my calibe range a bit both larger and smaller then what I already have.

Thanks again,
Craig
