I went with the older style stock because I really enjoy the way it looks. Kinda old fashioned. I shot it 5 times the other day and it really shoots well, less recoil than I expected. In fact my 130lb. 17 year old daughter shot it twice and she didn't complain either. She shot a bullseye from 30 yards with open sights on her SECOND shot, so she's not flinching from it at all.

Now I will warn you regarding some problems I've noticed. 1) The action is a little rough and does need some smoothing out. 2) The spring in the mag well seems weak to me, but it feeds fine so maybe it's not a problem. 3) The follower in the mag. is made of metal and the rounds will make a fair amount of noise when the rifle is moved around much. This might be fixed by stregthening the spring as well.
