I'm turning 78 this fall and also found I wanted a lighter primary rifle. Did a lot of comparisons for a year and worked a trade for 270 Win Kimber Montana. Fast, deadly, accurate, lightweight. As previously stated the Kimber stock helps with recoil. The 270 is fantastic shooting lightweight mono's or almost anything 130 grain. I think I did that's the best I could do. Love it.

BE STRONG IN THE LORD, AND IN HIS MIGHTY POWER. ~ Ephesians 6:10

Socialism is a philosophy of failure,
the creed of ignorance,
and the gospel of envy,
its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
--Winston Churchill
