For me seeing the animal after the shot has gone is the biggie, and some of the comments have highlighted the relationship this has with "stock design" . . . an often overlooked aspect of a rifle build, just looking fashionable (for whatever era) doesn't necessarily get you there! Kimber stocks have been mentioned, what else works really well on reducing muzzle flip and torquing in super light stocks?

With regards to muzzle flip I have found that running a heavier suppressor than is currently fashionable really helps. Either full stainless or a dpt with a few stainless baffles to bring the weight up. Yes it makes the rifle muzzle heavy (which drives some people mad but I love it for off hand shooting). Yes it also adds weight to your lightweight setup but it will still be lighter than most rifles and have much less muzzle flip than it had.
