I cant say on shotguns because each one I buy really only fills a niche purpose. Now as far as rifles go I had a Winchester 1917 Enfield that at some point was rebarreled to 300 win mag. It was a odd rifle the thing had to weigh 9lbs but stick kicked worse than larger caliber rifles ive owned, I think it was probably sporterized sometime in the 50s. I really like the cock on close on the 1917s though. I hate to see it when someone converts one to cock on opening takes alot of the personality out of the rifle to me. Shot my first deer with that rifle too, someday I wouldnt mind getting one that hasnt been sporterized and having a repro Malcom scopes put on it.
