[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2594227, member: 75451"] 16 pounds……. WOW!!! My first rifle, a .308 Win. bought at 14 years old (1967) weighed approximately 7.5 pounds, and had a plastic buttplate which was never replaced! I shot it for several years without a scope, recoil wasn’t an issue. A light bullet in 1967 was 150 grains…..though a premium at around 125/130 grains should be pretty sweet in a .308 Win. A young shooter should be very capable of shooting a moderately weighted .308 with a well fitting stock and a good recoil pad! I think that we underestimate the abilities of young people! Generally…..people can do what they want to do. If they are not interested…..nothing done to the rifle can make shooting enjoyable! JMO memtb [/QUOTE]
