Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Arthritic shoulders and recoil.

Started my hunting life with a 222. Moved 'up' to the 243 and probably took 150 whitetails with it. Still have 2 in the safe that come out to play from time to time. Left shoulder is heading for replacement someday. Right shoulder doesn't like the recoil so, the 300 WM and 338WM and the 340 Wby all went down the road.
My elk rifle is the 264 WM and a 6.5x55. Put the bullet in the right place and you'll be hauling elk meat out.
