I’ve had two shoulder surgeries, but I can still shoot my .338 WM just fine. Now my .300 WM or my Tikka T3 Lite in .300 WSM, they both kick more than my .338WM, but both guns are lighter than the .338 as well. The older I get though, the more I enjoy shooting my ARs and my .260 Rem in a Savage 11. I hardly notice the kick at all in those guns. I even shoot my .308 more in the past year or so it seems.
