My scale was acting up , but it show 10lbs. I don’t believe the recoil will be no worst than 300 magnum rifle that weighs around 9lbs. I may need to correct that statement after I fire a few rounds thru it😁
This estate auction had 30 some firearms and all were in new condition. The old timer sure knew how to take care of them. I was also looking at a pair of Savage/ Stevens bolt actions , they sold for double what I payed for my 30-30. However they looked fresh out of the box.
Crawling thru that is a young man’s sport. I now sit in a stand and have them come to me thru the brush onto cut firing lanes.
If you would be successful in taking game in that mess , the drag out of there work be challenging to say the least.
