The downwards slope really helps with reducing the face

We were shooting Greg Buchel's Model 89s last week. The 460 and heavy Buffalo Bore 454s had less felt recoil, than my Marlin in 45-70 with standard loads...
The 89s have a forward slope stock like a Weatherby. It helps on both!![[image]](images/uploaded/202412171711156761b0b3d7437.jpg)

- A lot of that drop is due to irons vs scopes. - JohnKDM, 2024-12-14, 13:44
- Not all of the old stocks work well for me. -
