Yeah AK ergos aren't exactly the best, but that's probably what I like the most about them is that they're raw, kinda the same way you'd compare an old muscle car to something new.

The new car is fast and has all the bells and whistles, but it's almost too smooth and kinda disconnected from what's going on, while the muscle car is rough and loud and in your face so you get to really feel and experience everything.

But I really like shooting large caliber bolt action too. Something about having a little thump behind your shots is really enjoyable for me.

I really like your comparison... makes perfect sense somehow.

As for the whole rough, loud, and even simple, I just love the M82A1, especially the "clink" sounds when you cock it... incites an erection in me lol

Though for "larger" caliber bolt action, the Remington 700 has always been my classic beauty, especially if you do a bit of aftermarket work. Superb multi-function.

Never shot a Barrett sadly, maybe someday. I’m with you on a good 700 though, and actually have a pretty decent one myself, 26” varmint SPS with a Bell & Carlson stock, Timney trigger, and Nightforce 5-25x. Has a few other little bells and whistles too but she’s a great shooter.

Go find a Barrett and a range right now... your life will change forever... trust me :D

You seem to have quite a nice 700... mine's an SPS in .308 with the magpul magazine conversion, timney calvin elite, and a leupold mark 8 3.5-25x. I'm planning to get another one :D
