I think my Renegades are MUCH more shooter friendly than my Hawken. I shoot 460 gr bullets in the Renegades and 300 gr bullets in the Hawken. I had to get a limb saver installed on the hawken. It was killing me. The monty carlo piece on the Hawken made me have to move the front sight to get it to sight in. I hope I got all the issues covered with this rifle. I need to get some shooting on that gun this spring. Ron
