I know the rifles made in .950 JDJ weigh upwards of 80lbs and the muzzle brake can be 18lbs!

How many 'big boars' have you fired, as you seem to have appointed yourself an expert on the situation. If you dont like it, decline his offer to give it a try, but I am assuming that with the money in this project, homework was likely done and he knew what he wanted.

Back to the 'big boars', I am sure if you pulled the tail of a large pig, it would give you a good boot.

Default XS peep site

I really like the looks of that XS peep site.

I have a NECG site that looks kinda awful.

I was going to get an NECG for my ruger, but think I'll stick to the scope.

Now, if I get a big bore? then Peep for sure it is.
