[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2808663, member: 100742"] First of all, Very nice X fix on the ankle. It should heal nicely and may take few months before they can remove the frame. That was one hell of a fracture to had!!!! I shoot a Weatherby Ultralight which is a 5 and 3/4 rifle This is a fairly light rife. With my 270 Win hand loads, its a hand full to shoot. I have found that I must really control this Rifle, and the light touch and almost free recoil style, does not work for me, with this rifle. Now I just got the barreled action back from Weatherby because I had a factory Muzz Break fitted to the 24 inch Barrel. They did a very nice job and I shot it for the first time yesterday, with its new Leupold VX5 3 X to 15X scope. This scope is bigger and heavier than the VX 3 2.5X to 8X that was on the rifle. Since I tore Rotator cuff and tore the Biceps tendon on my right shoulder, I was looking for a way to reduce the recoil. The additional weight of the scope and Muzzle break seem helpful. It seems I can no longer shoot 5 shot raged hole groups under 1 MOA , with this rifle. As I approach 75 years old, I am happy with 3 shot 1 inch groups. I remind myself every week at the range, that I purchased a Light Weight Deer Hunting Rifle, not a Bench Rest Queen. It remains my pet deer rifle, with a hot 270 Win Load. [/QUOTE]
