[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1006098, member: 313"] The multi-colored laminate stock isn't bad in appearance and is stout. The variable length of pull is a nice feature. The stock would certainly contribute towards the weight but probably mitigates recoil when the brake isn't used. The 20" barrel will result in 100-125 ft/sec loss in velocity but I don't see that as an issue. I shoot the 270 TSX at 2,700 ft/sec with RE17. 2,800 is considered max with a 23-24" bbl. The action has a controlled round feed and is fairly smooth but it sure isn't a Sako. :D For whatever reason the manual cautions AGAINST bedding the rifle. The rifle shoots very well for a dangerous game gun so I don't see any benefit to altering the bedding anyway. Overall, the rifle looks a bit like a tank, rugged and utilitarian in many respects. So far I am very happy with the Guide Gun. It's also available in 416R for anyone that may be interested. [/QUOTE]
