What's the consensus on the 54 around here? I was considering the 48 at first but thought the nicer stock on the 52 would be worth the extra cost. Then I figure why not go the extra bit and get the 54. Is the 54 worth the extra money over the price of the 52? I'm not really concerned with the weight of the rifle. The problems encountered with keeping a scope on the 54 does bother me to a certain extent. I would prefer to use a scope but could get by with peeps. I know the rifle recoils but the stock and therefore the shooter, is isolated from it by the system built into the rifle. The lack of perceived recoil is a big plus. I assume the rifle wouldn't be as hold sensitive as a recoiling springer with similar power.
