To me it is all about balance and how a rifle comes up.
Close your eyes and bring your rifle to your shoulder. When you open your eyes is the scope in exactly the right place to make a shot?

Did you read my earlier post re rifle fit ? we are on the same page on that. The counter to your point on strength would be that a weak bastard could shoot a light rifle better than a strong person could shoot the same rifle and could hold it still without shaking while waiting for a good shot??
