I have a Whitworth express that has been re-stocked with a full length mannlicher style stock and has two magna-ports cut in the top of the barrel. It also has a good quality recoil pad on it. It is quite comfortable to shoot. My hunting pard borrowed it to kill his first elk and was so impressed that he went right out and bought a Winchester Safari Express. After shooting the Winchester a few times he decided the recoil was too much and he sold it. We went out to the range and ran about 30 to 40 rounds through my rifle and it didn't bother him. He has been trying to get me to sell him my 375 for a couple of years now. I promised him that if I decide to sell he will have first crack at it, but I also told him not to hold his breath.
