I had one someone put together on a Mauser action. It was beautiful and put together right. But the rifle was very light. With 350 or 400 grain heavy loads the recoil was sharp and not pleasant and I’m not recoil sensitive. I sold it. In hind sight I wish I had just rebarreled it. I loved the cartridge and I loved loading for it. I’d definitely own another Taylor but I’d want it in a rifle 9lbs or heavier.
My Taylor, completed last summer weighs 7.25 lbs with a peep sight. 400s at 2300ish are quite unpleasant, but at 2165, it’s as gentle as a .375.
