Darn--that's something else I need...No, instead the flat leather butt actually spreads the "push" over a wider area...
OK, I guess I need some education here.The longer barrel cowboy is like shooting a loud 22 lr with 405 grain lead in it. however step up to the 300 grain and better have a large recoil pad.
What is your approximate weight?It shoves one back pretty good too, but far from unbearable.
I handled an 1895G in .45-70 today for the first time at BiMart.
I've seen them before on the racks from a distance, and have been reading a LOT about them. But today was the first one I handled.
I was astounded at how good it felt. Astounded. The balance and quickness to point is ... well, beyond words. Even significantly faster than my 870. Makes me once again want to lop off a couple of inches of barrel off my 336A.
I have little doubt I'll get one sooner or later.
Just seems to be in my cards ...
