    the 7mm08 you shot was mine..built as a mountain rifle...of course its going to kick..it weighs 7 pound!!!!
    your 308 is a varmint gun..... heavy barrel heavy stock....

    Theres a huge differance old mate...DONT get me started Clive:mad::mad::D

    I know...

    I'm just a frail overweight elder lemon:rolleyes:

    And be fair to yourself and your gun it weights under the 7lb mark all up (with scope) and is a work of art.

    If only I could have....... your 7mm08 (cliveJ now dreams on)

    Work of art is right. I picked that thing up for a look and it's so nicely balanced I could shoot oranges standing at 200 yards with it. Definitely a serious piece of advertising there for John Greene's work. I have a job for him actually, now that I think about it...
