Nice rifle, but agree on the break. If your PH or gun bearer holds the sticks for you they will need the ear protection for sure.

I have seen where the shooting stick holder developed a flinch just from a standard length non ported magnum. Not conducive to precise shooting and not very fair to the bystanders.

"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
