Thanks for sharing that pic.

This rifle has the heavy barrel, and counterweights of lead in the butt so it is very heavy and a swine to carry on a day-long walk. But, you can shoot it all day. As you say, a gentle push is all the felt recoil and it tracks like an AA gun. This Gemsbok was galloping full tilt across my front at about 120yds and the single shot tumbled it in its tracks. They seldom get up after the .375 smacks them down.
