It is a given that a lwt rifle calls for a different shooting discipline ( am I saying that right? they have their idiosyncrasies for sure, ha. If I have any rifle that "hurts" while I'm in a golf shirt, I just slip on a Past Recoil Shield (mimics my hunting clothes for LOP) and get after it. When I was 14, I talked my dad into buying a used Remington 11-48 12 ga for me. That was one of the most brutal recoiling guns ever, every bit as bad a Stevens single shot 12 ga Magnum. I would end up with a black eye after shooting at doves! Both were Full choke and shot buckshot great ( we ran deer with hounds) but you had to "aim" them like a rifle! ha I was trying to "make do" as we were dirt poor. Turned out to be good training later when I was experimenting with "the perfect DGR", from 338WM to 458 Lott. ha
Thanks for the input guys, I'm taking it all in...:)
