Quote: A 10 pound rifle is nothing to carry round while hunting. My brother, when hunting with his Sharps, carries 11 1/2 pounds plus ammo. .

Agree---one of my .416 with scope weights in around 10 1/2 lbs..and it is NO problem while hunting in Africa ---my .458 is very similar in weight as well as my .470 WR...
IMHO--as previously stated above---stock design, fit, etc are HUGE in the recoil felt...
