The issue may be with the light weight rifle the shooter cannot cope wiht the sharper recoil felt. When I first acquired my BSA Majestic Featherweight deluxe in 270 Win I put the light alloy tubed Khales 4L2 scope on it. The Khales as a short eye relief and the first tiem I shot with ti it nearly caught me out. I then swapped the scope for a Lisenfeld 3-9x42 with more eye relief and had not more issues.

The Majestic Featherweight weighs 6 1/4lbs sans scope and 7lbs 12 oz ready to hunt. That is with the scope, mounts, leather sling and 4 rounds in the magazine.





Of course there are now lighter bolt actions being offered but this was light for 1959.

Shooting light rifles requires good follow through and hold something which many modern shooters especially in the UK where the reliance on Bipods is rife do not relaise or have.
