I've injured the rotator cuff on my right shoulder for the second time in a few years. The first time, it came back pretty well after a few months, but I had to give up most magnums. This time, it's taking longer and a 7mm-08 seems to be my max, but even then not for many shots.
I'm really thinking a .223 bolt action could be fun - cheap practice ammo, good factory ammo, easy and inexpensive to reload. I have a 3-9x40 and a 4.5-14x42 scope waiting in the closet, and I'm waffling over which one would be best on this little slayer.
So if you don't mind, give me your experience with and opinions of the best choice for rifle, then choose one of the above scopes to mount on it.
Categories:
1. INEXPENSIVE (think Ruger American, T/C Compass, Howa 1500, etc.)
2. MODERATE price (Ruger Hawkeye, Tikka T3X, Browning X-bolt, Rem Model 7 Predator, etc.)
3. UNLIMITED (Christensen Arms, one of the chassis rifles, Barrett Fieldcraft, etc.)
