[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 92726, member: 5302"] One way folks can reduce recoil without changing the outward appearance of their shoulder breaker is to add some weight. Remove the barreled action, then rout out some stock material under the barrel. Mix some No. 9 lead shot with epoxy, then put it in the routed out area; be sure it's not gonna touch the barrel. You can also remove the butt pad, drill some holes in the buttstock then fill 'em with the same lead shot and epoxy mix. Regarding its capabilities as a long range gun, that depends on both it, the ammo and you. If these three things can keep all (not a few) fired shots inside 2 MOA at any long range, then the "system" is a long range one. Find a 500 yard range and shoot 20 shots then measure the group. You'll find out if you qualify. Do not (repeat, do not) base your system's long range abilities on a few shots fired at 100 yards; it doesn't work that way. [/QUOTE]
