Mr Batte, What do you consider perfect ? Up untill a couple years ago perfect to me was a 30-06 target in a low comb sporter stock.I would think that was a 10 lb rig. At 60 the std is perfect to me, Im having a fwt in 06 bedded maybe that will be 'perfect' at 65. I know this I hold a heavy gun better freehanded and recoil is not an issue. I have shot guns that were to lite for the amount of recoil generated. I guess what Im trying to say is your perfect may not be my perfect. very best WinPoor
