Forget how much they weigh Danny, you have to be a skinny bloke to ride them. They are designed to take 100kg max from memory. Best option would be a Buzz Bike, sold here in Chch. Work mate has one,...

Have 2 of them, work very well reducing muzzle jump & recoil. Especially with light rifle & grunty caliber. In the field I can’t tell any difference in noise levels vs standard end cap.

165 to 180gn projectiles is where the 30/06 does its best work. for the short barrel forget the 30/06 and go for the 308 IMO. 30/06 would be better served with a 22" barrel.
