re: 357 H&H gun pron. (update in OP scope added)

I shot it last weekend open sights and honestly, it's not bad at all. Between the weight of the gun, almost 10 pounds and the 1/2" thick recoil pad, there's not much pop. It's a lot of energy, but its not snappy at all, didn't leave my shoulder sore. I would say it's easier on me than my 45-70 crack barrel.

Thanks, I like the wood too, it's purty.
