I cant figure out why they arent more popular...or are they? I believe someone would definitely be hard pressed to find a better shooter with anything short of a total custom. Never doubt a Mack mechanic's ingenuity when it comes to fixing stuff that cant be fixed...lmao. Come to think of it you dont see a lot of them out there so there must be a lot of people hoarding them up. Sweet shooting gun though...thanks again for hooking me up. Far as that steel recoil pad its definitely a lot easier on the shoulder than the 300 Savage I haave with that steel plate is.
