[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 324116, member: 2736"] Nat. Don't feel bad a rifle that weighs 5 pounds has a very high recoil velocity even though it is in a 308. (This is what you actually feel because it is how fast the rifle moves back at firing not the ft/lbs of recoil energy that most people think is the recoil that they feel. I have a Mauser carbine in 308 that weighs less than 6 pounds and it is unpleasant to say the least. I replaced mine with a 22" hunter bench rest taper from Lilja and it will shoot lights out but it does weigh 11 lbs. So with the custom barrels you can expect better accuracy,(I may have said it in other post but the light barrels all seam to shoot better with light bullets because they are not as bad about barrel harmonics).
