I bought one of these in marinecoat and in 30-06 with synth stock. Mounted a scope and started to sight it in. By the time I got halfway through a box of ammo I was near tears. My buddy who also shoots everything under the sun shoot it twice and handed it back to me.....saying no thanks. I got it fairly close to zeroed but couldn't finish the box of ammo. This gun was a bear to shoot, kicked like a mule. I have a TCR in 300 win mag that kicks less than this and would rather shoot a 3" slug in the TCR than shoot this. After much trying I got Mossberg to sell me the Laminated stock for this rifle which will add some weight. They really didn't want to sell me the stock for whatever reason, I had to beg. It is a nice looking rifle and feels good but I still have not shot it with the new stock. I wish I had bought it in 308.
