I set my son up with his needs for life or I'm getting him what he needs but wow.

This isn't a for sale post. I'm just venting. I bought myself a 10mm going to give that a go but I can't even straighten both arms.
SUCKS


To OP, I go under knife for shoulder replacement in 2 weeks, all my research and questions to doctors and others who’ve had surgery is my rifle shooting days aren’t over. The big bores are, but my plan is to start with 22 rim when doc clears and work my way up in recoil. 20-25 ft-lbs recoil seems to be limit from what most say, a few go bigger, most lighter. But I’m thinking .308 is my goal.
Talk to others, get with a good surgeon before completely writing off something you enjoy.
