We'll see what the new brochure says. Not that it matters to me.

I'll only go on the warpath if they ban PRB's. Which should never happen since Colorado thinks the muzzy season is primitive.

Most CVA's run very tight as compared to a White...

Yes, it was an MR.

Hard recoil, because the gun is so light.

You have much better choices if you shoot sabots. Barnes , Bloodline etc.

Not sure this has anything to do with what you might be looking for, but I am currently shooting a 6# Knight Ultra Lite and I really do not find the recoil objectionable at all.

For an Elk load I am shooting 120 gr. of T7 and a 305 gr. Lehigh bullet.

I think Knight and Bell & Carlson spent a quite of time developing the Kevlar stock to help reduce the felt recoil.

Just make sure you have somewhere behind you with some nice soft padding
