Winchester 88?

The recoil thing, as I mentioned in my OP, was I felt due to too low scope mounts or trying to use the Irons.
The Carbine I have ,the original owner hated to fire it. Said how bad it hit his cheek. Scoped ,I don't see the issue, but he was using the irons so I can see the hard cheek weld required and the little harder bump on the cheek.
2 cents:canadaFlag: Canadain worth.....

P.S. The 88 has some movie cool factor as well. Remember the Deputy Sheriff trying to bring down Johnny Rambo from a helicopter with one in "First Blood", the first and best Ram Bone movie!!

Now I have to watch this movie again??...:p
 
My first centrefire was an 88 in .308. I never had any recoil issues.
It's very accurate, 1 inch groups with federal blue box 180's.
The trigger's a little heavy, but it points well and is very fast for follow up shots.
It doesn't get the use it used to, but is still my favorite rifle
 
Not a bad rifle, did have a weak stock just back of the action and if you do take apart the trigger assy make up a couple of slave pins that are short enough to fit through the assy and hold the sub-assy together and it is a breeze to work on.
