Thanks guys. I knew I could count on you. This will be my first REAL big bore rifle. I've shot my 12 with 3" mags without any problem. Although it's close I don't really consider it the same (I may change my mind after this but we'll see). I'm going to go with one of factory weight and see how it shoots. I've handled a #1 in this caliber and it felt great. I may add a thicker pad for more length but I'll have to see after I shoot it a bit. Thanks again guys!
