Had several ,and liked them ,Recoil is over rated ,they dont kick that bad,[kicks like all hell is complete crap] and had a very early one Mark V with a pencil thin barrel and KDF muzzle brake ,you could shoot all day long ,did some buffalo shooting with another I built, and it dropped buffalo on the spot with Barnes 350gr TSX ,the fellow I was with, had a 375 H and H, nearly every one of his ran off after it was hit, then dropped ,will get another one one day if they dont ban them ,for scaring the Police\Politicians ,like what's happening in WA, ATM
