Seafire; Do you see an issue with a 19" barrel?? My wife's 22" barrel came in and she says it is muzzle heavy. It is on a Marlin XS7, factory contour, 8" twist. Currently in the youth model tupperware stock w/o glass it is 6 lb 12 oz. Plinking ammo will be 70-80gr, and hunting ammo 100gr. I can brake it or "can" it for her, but both will add weight where she doesn't want it. I don't think recoil and blast will be too much for her. Her only other centerfire experience is with a braked 7-30 Waters Contender.

PS If you build the heavy on the Win push feed I have a stock for ya!


Some is Good---More is Better----Too Much is Just Right
