I meant the rifle itself, the Pro Desolve. I have trouble shooting a very light rifle in the field. I can put up with a few rounds of about anything, as far as my old shoulder goes right now, but the ultra lightweights with their skinny/fickle/very thin barrels drive me nuts, ha. I shoot far more than I hunt, of course. In fact, I would love to have this Hawkeye 338 down to 8 pounds. I know I'm looking at a compromise. I've even considered another Tikka T3x in '06. Just never shot one so no idea of their recoil ( unbraked). Any Tikka 30-06 users out there? Please, you are welcome to chime in.
