The receiver and barrel was reblued, but the furniture was stock, and not messed with. The forearm is slender and light that just makes it a fine firearm to carry in the woods all day. Since this rifle has come into my possesion it has not touched the ground on a hunt. I topped it off with a fine Leupold and it has become my favorite rifle as I get older. Once you reach the age when your eyes aren't what they use to be........you will like a small scope! I would like to add.......if the recoil of the .308 hurts you in anyway.....maybe you should find another hobby? Last edited by onelostsoul; 03/29/21. Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?

It is indeed all about gun weight and stock shape in terms of individual fit. "You can lead a man to logic, but you cannot make him think." Joe Harz "Always certain, often right." Keith McCafferty

Knitting is a low impact pastime. Or a guy could learn topiary. Me, I want to learn how to tie-die in camo colors. Maybe when I am too big a wuss to shoot a 308 that's the way I'll go. _______________________________________________________ An 8 dollar driveway boy living in a T-111 shack LOL

Gave it to John for his Birthday. I can shoot 100 rounds a session through my 250 with zero recoil damage to my shoulder. I’ve shot deer and pigs in the eye with it. No flinch factor with any load. If that gets too hard to shoot, I’ll just boost Gary’s set trigger Hornet, single shot and keep shooting in the eye. Ain’t taken up paint by the numbers. I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

It's a cumulative effect that doesn't effect each individual the same way, but regardless of who you are it will catch up sooner or later- and it'll be sooner rather than later if you persist in shooting Macho Calibers in lightweight guns or guns that don't fit properly.

Very true. I know my father in his 70s no longer shoots the bigger calibers he used to when he was younger. The rifle fit definitely has something to do with the feel of recoil too. I have a Marlin in 45-70 that I can comfortably shoot but I shot a buddies 45-70 and it was noticably more uncomfortable.

It certainly is with shotguns and pistol grips can make or break you in bullseye shooting. Rifles are no different. We just tend to think of them differently.
