[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2601665, member: 8394"] She handled the 45-70 recoil even when loaded to top of what the 1895 can handle. Granted those are heavier rifles and have more weight forward. Even after a few hundred rounds she just never warmed to the 1895. I have a 375 ruger that doesn't weigh enough for what rl 17 can do with a partition in that bore. She's shot a couple full kilt loads to make sure she could, but it's way to much. Actually very few people like to shoot that rifle much. She carried a rifle of mine that's pretty light and bolt action and like it. Kinda gave me roughly a size and weight of rifle and recoil tolerance. The raptor seems like the easiest of the potential candidates to put in a compact small bolt gun, but nose heavy straight wall can be a pita to get to load. Might be a job for a dual spring like the old dm mags on 90s vintage remingtons, or even switch it up and go crf. [/QUOTE]
