Thread: Insight / Discussion RE magnum calibres for mountain rifle

Another thought is around strength, the strength to hold the rifle up without moving / shaking while waiting for the shot. As a general rule the best offhand shot hunters I have seen have been great big strong blokes who could grip the rifle like a grizzly bear. I used to have a job that made me very strong in the arms and holding weight up. It certainly helped with holding a rifle. Nothing wrong with doing exercise to improve that ability to hold the arms up, just like a boxer training with heavy gloves.
