[QUOTE="Broz, post: 654932, member: 7503"] Rhian, it has a different feel as it is a lot less bulky. When you grab it and pick it up it feels ligher than it really is due to the more equal balance of the rig. When you stick it in th aback pack it almost disappears with only a short piece of stock sticking out. That is a huge improvement over my 338 that towers above my head while in the pack. While shooting my LM in the A-5 stock I always feel the downward recoil on to the rear bag. This is why I have been stressing the importance of a solid bag to keep the rifle from dropping the rear durring recoil and resulting in elevated hits. With the LRKM I didn't notice the downward recoil in the bag , but more so a rearward in line recoil. These are first impressions and I would need more trigger time in many different shooting angles to confirm. But for sure the fact that hits were landing at the same elevation repeatably , means the rifle butt was staying put. I assume this is related to the fact the action is so far rearward and the rifle is much shorter. Jeff [/QUOTE]
