Thread: How heavy should a hunting rifle be?

I'm thankful I weighed 115kg when I got sick. Or I would now likely be under 100kg, and that's an unpleasantly skinny weight for me. I have abs poking through at my current weight, which with my genetics means I'm getting to the point of underweight. I have a big set of thighs and a heap of muscle in my back from a few years of lifting (caused trouble with hospital procedures lol), and 110kg is about right.
But I think I'll be alright with a bit of recoil, even though I'm a newbie.

you can download with NO PROBLEMS at all....not even slightly hard to make lower recoiling loads...either drop powder charge of projectile weight or both....
its too easy to have a dual load set up..lighter loads for plinking or smaller stuff and some normal level loads incase something bigger pops out.
plenty of us do it all the time anyway.
