Ahh i figured a clever bugger like you might have some of the engineering goodies.

Is that with bolt, mag and can? A good pack shooter for sure.

Yea bolt, magazine and dpt magnum suppressor. (no ammo)

I wonder if one of our gurus could work out the felt recoil calculations for some of these options. A 3.2kg setup in .243 is a different beast to one in 7mmRM. Most of us probably don't worry about recoil on the hill, but it's different on the range I reckon. Have seen a few flinches develop... Always a good test to pretend to load it if your mate is not getting reasonable groups but denies worrying about recoil at all....
