[QUOTE="villagelightsmith, post: 1988007, member: 68421"] Except for a couple of minutes during all the days of The Hunt, The Rifle is just "in the way." People who could afford it once hired "gunbearers" to pack (and sometimes shoot) their heavy "elephant guns" and all the rest of their kit. My fantasy gun would weigh a "sweet nothing" until it came to the shot, at which point it would become attached to a large fluid dampened gimbal that is anchored to the center of the earth. And it would vanish shortly thereafter. I have a heavy old pre-war M70 in '06, and a svelt little beat-up Higgins-Husqvarna HVA, stocked in "distressed birch" in the same caliber. I've never bothered to analyze that stock ... it simply doesn't kick. In my antiquity, I haven't fired the M70 in decades. But that little Husky has seen a lot of miles and a lot of vertical NE Oregon real estate. Because of it's light weight, it now wears a thick, soft trap-gun sissy pad. Since I put that pad on, I've never felt the recoil. I like it. It is just one gun ... that is [I]not[/I] for sale. The 300 Weatherby stays in the safe; the light J.C.Higgins-Husky goes hunting. I once had nearly the same build in a .338 WM (less the pad, different stock) and yes, I still have the eyebrow to show for it.:oops: [/QUOTE]
