Thanks, will keep this in mind, I haven't had a chance to shoot it much yet. As far as recoil, it's pretty clear when you touch one off but the "use in all gun" loads with 300gn bullets doesn't seem to bad. Chances are, especially with open sights it won't see a lot of range time but there are a few spots where I will likely hunt with it occasionally. Regardless, it's just one of those guns that really appeals to me.
