I’m 68, and wonder how much longer I can deal with heavier recoil. I will “not” be going to a brake, so, I have to “man-up”! As I’m not putting in the miles I did a few years ago, my 9 pound rifle is still at a comfortable “carry weight”! As I do minimal bench work, recoil is not much of an issue! I hope that I can maintain some semblance of decent conditioning and shoot my rifle for many more years! memtb

You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong." -Bob Hagel
