I'm thinking about getting one and have never considered spending this much money on a rifle but, I have more hunts behind me than in front and I would like a nice rifle. This will be my last rifle purchase. I've about decided on a .30'06 but, am wondering how the recoil will be with a 5 and half pound rifle. Anyone care to comment about the workmanship and the handling of these?
Shew me thy ways, O LORD: teach me thy paths. "there are few better cartridges on Earth than the 7 x 57mm Mauser" "the .30 Springfield is light, accurate, penetrating, and has surprising stopping power"
