[QUOTE="johnlittletree, post: 1547599, member: 105653"] The Mark V has always been a great rifle. Sure every once in a while someone get's a lemon but that is true of anything. So I am not surprised you like it hard not to like the Mark V especially the older ones. They traditionally had great blueing and great wood! Very Surprised the recoil is not sharp! Well that is a pleasant surprise right! My lever action 45-70 has a sharp recoil not painful just very immediate. My 12ga. rifled slug gun has some serious recoil it is not as sharp as the 45-70 and is more of a push but it is long push and pretty intense. My first Magnum was a 300WM and that had the BOSS system on it and it felt like I was shooting 150gr. 30-06 loads it did not feel like most magnums. A lot of people do not know this so I will toss it out here. Muzzle breaks are actually quieter than an un-breaked rifle. It does not sound that way though because human hearing is some of the worst hearing on the planet. You do not hear with the ear just like all of our sense the brain is what does the hearing and seeing. The problem is that it redirects some of the sound that normally would not be heard from the muzzle back at the shooter. Second the sound is altered higher freq. at a lower SPL sound loud than lower freq. at higher spl levels. If you use a db meter a breaked rifle will be quieter than that same rifle with out the break. If you take a audio signal generator and you fix the spl level so it does not vary as you go up in freq. people will always think the db and spl values are climbing. Likewise if you take any given freq. and increase the volume it will sound as if the freq. is increasing when in fact it has not changed at all. Just like the brain fails often with visual information and we call those repeatable fails optical illusions the same thing happens with hearing. [/QUOTE]
