[QUOTE="8x68s, post: 2741540, member: 109828"] My first was a BDL which was a recoil pussycat. Somewhere along the way it went down the road without me. Then to a 7STW which got me hankering for the big 8 again (same brass, save money lol).

Brass and bullets are not really a problem as I pick them up when available and honestly, I don't do much shooting with the big 8 outside of hunting season. It's not a range day friendly rifle.
