[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 260638, member: 2736"] BG Don't worry about recoil it will not wound you unless you let the scope get your eye. Which brings up a good point, I know there are better/more expensive scopes but one of the reasons I realy like Leupold scopes is because of eye relief. I don't have muzzel breaks on any of my rifles and on the bigger ones 30/378,338 and 416s I have Leupolds because of the 4+ inches of eye relief because if you are out of position when you fire you need all you can get. What ever kind of scope you use be sure and set it as far forward as you can to prevent adding another eyebrow to your face.( Note: I have never been hit by one of my scopes, setting them up correctly can make a huge difference. And on the freebore issue, there are a lot more rifles with freebore than just the RUMs and Weatherbys. A lot of manufactures are adding freebore to lower pressures and raise velocitys ( Velocity Sells ) and I'm sure everyone has noticed that reloading books are getting very conservative to deal with potential law sutes. Have fun and post a picture of your first kill and the rifle when you can. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
