Well I got to get some surgery done and will be in need of low/soft recoiling rifles. I would still like to hunt whitetail deer out to max 400 yds but most likely 300 & under. Also would like to hunt Black Bear. Im looking for opinions on what caliber & mods (Muzzle breaks etc..?)you would do to help with recoil. Thanks. I had double should surgery (as in on both shoulders) and settled on a 7-08 as my "big" gun shooting 120 BTs, and a 243 shooting 85 TSX as my little gun. Both, BTW jack slap deer.

I shoot a 257 AI for Deer and Elk no problems use the 120 Noselers.
It will kill anything you point it at. I had it built on a Ruger tang safety and it is by far my favorite gun.
It has very little recoil.

7mm-08 with a muzzle brake and a good pad. Very little recoil and plenty of power for deer, hogs or black bears using Barnes or Nosler 140 grain bullets.
