As has been mentioned, recoil and platforms...

The Zastava rifles are not light guns. But the Bavarian "pig back" style stock apparently does not interface with me very well. The Winchester 70 Classic with cheapo Ramline stock I am shooting right now is more comfortable than the 7x57mm and maybe even 6.5x55mm (with handloads) Zastavas I was shooting last fall/winter. It just isn't hitting me the same way.
