Properly fitted stock and good recoil pad make all the difference in the world. Those guys at AHR in Corvallis know just how to do it right. Of course, once those 900gr pills start leaving the barrel at something around 2,400fps ...

I'm assuming that's with MAX No.1 45-70 loads? I see the 45-70 is smaller, maybe that's part of it? Which one do you feel hits harder at the game end?

My 375 H&H shooting 350g bullets at 2300 fps is a pussycat. I think the narrowness of the stock at the butt, and the lightweight of the marlin makes the difference.

My 416 Remington Sako Action, 26" Bison half round/half octagon barrel. Junk B&C stock that came with the action until I change it out. Shoots very well.
