[QUOTE="std7mag, post: 2701761, member: 125590"] As Fiftydriver says, free recoiling rifles are built specifically for that purpose. The only part of the body touching the rifle is the trigger hand or even just the trigger finger. Scopes are mounted high. There is no cheekweld. LOP is usually shorter also. Triggers are in the ounces, not pounds and ounces. I've seen some as light as 2oz. Barrels are usually 1.25" the full length. With rifles weighing in at 14-17lbs. Usually you'll see a lot of cartridges like 6BR, 30BR, 6PPC and such. Not a lot of 300 Win Mag. For the larger cartridges, instead of just a flat 3" wide forestock, you'll see a widened section offset to one side to help with torquing. Some as wide as 6". [/QUOTE]
