I'd somewhat agree. Great quality rifles but the power on the RWS 48's and 52's drive them to be the size and weight of an M1 Garrand. This can take some of the joy out of the field experience for even a grown man (and makes them overkill for teaching younger shooters.) They are awesome vermin killing machines if that is what you need though.
