    No particular reason other than I had a very similar setup on my 500 Jeffery R8 a few years ago and it worked well. Cheek weld is still good and to be honest any lower and I think I would run out of clearance for my thumb when pushing the cocking mechanism forward.

    Blaser R8 & Dangerous Game?

    Feedback on African two gun battery for Cape Buffalo and other

    I'm taking 458 Lott and 9.3X62 with me to Africa, so my vote is definitely going to be for the 9.3 as a second rifle.

    CRF vs Push feed
