Ready on the Right.
My Whelen is built on a Stevens 200 action with a 25inch stainless barrel, radial port muzzle drake, rifle Basix trigger and Zies 3to 9 x40 scope. Tips the scales at 9# field ready.
Even with 250grain Speer hotcore leaving the muzzle at 2,700fps (yes you did read correctly) it's a real pussycat. I have a shoulder injury and it doesn't affect me. It does get your attention without the brake tho.
