I'm only speaking for myself who have had multiples of 84L's and 84M's. The 30-06 in an 84 L (5# 10oz.) does have markedly more recoil in 180's and 200's than a .308 in 84M (5# 2oz.) in 165's and 150's. In my opinion, the .270 Win. in an 84L is the epitome of cartridge/rifle weight balance with all bullet weights. My new toy is a Mountain Ascent in 6.5 CM which, is a hybrid 84M (4# 15oz.) and will hopefully work out with 130 Acc's. creeping close to 2900 fps.. The 143 ELD-X has already proven itself on a caribou and two cow elk.
The "blind magazine" is the KISS idea for rifles.
