    All you guys talking about recoil pads. Is rifle! Should know when shooting! Slight pain for you, great pain for Germans!

    I dunno, maybe I'm just a sucker for punishment.

    :lol2: i can handle pain.. except that one shot w/ guthook's mosin.. got me on the shoulder bone! he said it was a reload w/ softer recoil but i think it was the hot one that he just made for me.:lol2:

    The shoulder bruising I can take but I find that having the extra length on the stock really makes the accuracy improve a lot.

    Can't do it this friday. Have to work. Could have taken it off but had to take off yesterday due to back problems.

    Very nice. I just got mine last Tuesday (dated 1941). Field stripped, cleaned-out all the cosmoline, and prepped it up. The bolt action is smooth, hopefully I'll be able to shoot it for the first time tomorrow!
