i picked up one of the alaskan's and shouldered it. in trying to do so the sticky stock hung up on my t-shirt and brought it to my shoulder as well. i think this would be quite a hinderence, espicially with winter hunting clothes on. i dont think i could justify the tackiness because of this. plus, i did not like the wide forend. it seemed more like a target gun than a hunting rifle.

what do you think the recoil would be like with one of the boat paddle stocks? it doesn't seem to be designed to dispate recoil that well. any thoughts?
