[QUOTE="Norske, post: 164110, member: 409"] Extremely lightweight rifles are very difficult to learn to shoot accurately. I own a Ruger ultralight that I still haven't mastered. Every variable in your holding a rifle that weighs only 5# will change the direction of recoil. That changes the impact of the bullet. Variables include how firmly you shoulder the butt stock, how you hold the fore end, even how much pressure your cheek exerts against the stock's comb. Unless you're willing to put in the extensive practice you'll need to learn these things, buy a rifle with more weight up front. If that Adirondack was on the used rack at Scheels, there is a very good chance the original buyer had trouble keeping five shots on an 8 1/2"X11" target sheet at 100yards in the indoor benchrest range in West Fargo. I was working the evening he brought it to the range two or three years ago. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a 7-08 that's easier to shoot. [/QUOTE]
