What is the barrel diameter at the muzzle? Looks like a great rifle but maybe a heavier contour barrel than I would choose.
.6775” It has enough meat it could make for a very interesting 9.3x62 or 35 Whelen project. Main downside to that plan is it would be a shame to rebore a rifle that shoots so well.
The weight is distributed well for shooting, both off hand and from a stand window. The main time the barrel weight is noticeable is when it is slung on the shoulder. The stock is light so the weight sits on top of your shoulder rather than hangs.
