Who cares about recoil? I do. And my daughters do. We see no reason to put up with more recoil than necessary..
Didn't you say you spent $500 on a lightweight mc.Edge stock?
$500 splurge to increase that dreaded bane of a thing called recoil...WTF?
that kind of money can get a person a new barrel for 7Mag that will handle 175 LRABs ...
or put it toward a factory rifle 280 A.I. 9.0 "twist and one is on their way for using 175..
Oh and the nemesis, the almighty "recoil", that everyone feels while killing game.... Haha
I recall my 1980s M70 featherweight, Leup. 2.5-8x, steel rings, 7-3/4 lb empty.
then the MkV .270 Wby ,Brown Prec. stock , same scope and rings, 8-1/4 lb empty
The decision was easy, weight and recoil penalty didn't seem much, so the FW was effectively out of a job.
magazine capacity?... I usually don't put anymore than one-Up -- two-down in any medium bore rifle.
Ive even hunted with one up the spout, and only one or nothing in the stack.
... 6- 3/4 lb MkV ultra-LW was not available back then, otherwise I would have got one, topping out at
the same weight as M70 fw.
