Gun fit is everything. Doesn't make a [bleep] of difference what type of action it is. I had a Beretta 686 o/u 9.3x74R that was one of the most viscous recoiling rifles I've owned. Did't fit worth a damn, and every shot felt like I was getting punched in the jaw. I currently have 9.3x74R's in a Ruger No.1, and a Simson drilling. I can shoot both as long as I feel, and shoot them well. They fit me. The only mystique I see, is does the gun fit you, and are you comfortable and confident with it, and shoot it well? Action type is way down the list for me.
