Ok, a couple questions for guys who shoot the 81. Does the barrel band seem to negatively affect accuracy? Also, much less important, does the straight stock increase felt recoil much?
I keep going back to the store and handling an 81 in 358win. I's lightly used for under $600. I'm really leaning toward the 308, but something about the 358 round gets the loony in me all jazzed up.
This rifle will be to fill the gap between my 454 model 92 and my 300wsm model 70.
