Thread: Most comfortable/steady rifle

early Remingtons seem to have the balance factor right- or just really suit me - my Rem 1975 700 BDL in .222 I rate highly for handling but does not have a can- likewise my old 788 in 308 with can and 18 1/2 barrel is also very nice to handle quickly - two that really stood out was my beloved 742 Woodsmaster and a Benelli semi auto I used - both handled really well but now bits of useless steel somewhere ( short pause for a sob or two ) I put the Remington's down to stock design - the earlier A2 sakos with the nice walnut and deep palm swell stock were good-- the worst well Zastava mini mauser horrible just all wrong pleased I only used it one day when I was unexpectedly invited out to shoot some pesky reds on a crop - what was wrong with it well pistol grip to short and barrel way to light
