That’s a valid point on the recoil which I hadn’t considered. My wife shoots the odd fallow from time to time with this rifle and she doesn’t currently mind the recoil but if it’s a significant step up it might put her off.

Haven’t even thought about the SMK, I might need to do a bit of a read up on em.

The 178s were sub 1/2 moa & the 208s were 1/2-3/4 moa with more recoil.

I will see if I get a chance to dig the data out tomorrow for you.
