Finally, a rifle that Will will think is just the right weight for it's caliber!  I'm actually tempted to buy it and give it to him!  Rusty We Band of Brothers!

I have a Holland Royal stock from a 500/465 with Leopard Teeth marks and scratches in it from an attack on the owner. They look awesome. . | |||

just from my wife beating me with it about the head and shoulders when she found how much I paid for it. Rich DRSS | |||

That would be a fair whack. I load mine to 2270 fps with 130gn AR2209 behind the 600gn Woodleigh. It gives 102 ft lbs of recoil at 24fps, which is a handful. A Ruger no 1 chambered in 505 Gibbs would be around 9lbs, which gives 125 ft lbs of recoil at 30fps. I think the difference would be quite noticable | |||
