Where the hell are all you skinny guys coming from????!!!!!!!!!

5' 10", 135? And that other guy is 6' +, and 155? I'm trying like hell to get back to 5' 10" and 190lbs! I'm207 now, and I was 222 lbs. at New Years! Tell me what I need to be eating!!!! Or maybe I just need to shut my pie hole...

And no, being a lardass doesn't predispose me to taking on any more recoil. My 700 CDL in .30-06 is quite manageable, butI wouldn't call itpleasant. The R3 pad makes a world o' difference, but it took me many boxes of ammo to learn to relax, breathe, slowly squeeeeeeeze, and be surprised when the round fired. In fact, I still work at that every time at the range.

I'm thinking I should get a .338 wm, just in case I ever want to go poke a bear in the ass & get him really mad. I also have this nagging suspicion about what this latest Congress might be up to regarding guns of all sorts... Still, I'm taking my '06 after elk again this fall, & I'd take it for moose, too. If I can get close enough to the critters, I'm quite confidentIcan put the bullets where they ought to go.

It sounds like you & I need to befriend some more folks at the shooting range, & see if they'll let us crack-off some rounds on their medium bore guns. We might learn a lot about our capabilities.

Good luck,
