Quote:
Keep in mind that the lighter it becomes, the more recoil it(and you) will endure.

Even a 6lb. gun should easily handle 7/8oz. loads. With the loads you're feeding that 7+ pounder, I wouldn't sweat the recoil.

As long as you don't go to extremes, your stock should be able to handle a reasonable amount of slimming. Mind you - and no offense intended - a slender wrist on that gun might wind up looking like a silk purse with the sow still attached.
