Back when I was so Ignorant and thought an 8lb sporter weight rifle with perfect balance was just the ticket for a take anywhere rifle. I had a pretty incredible 25-06 with a Leupy Vari X3 6.5-20 that shot 100gr pills of death, making for a great deal of fun. Recoil on such a Heavey rifle by todays standards was of course very minimal.Nothing wrong with any of the fore mentioned suggestions, just fond memories of my Ol' Quarter bore!
