James, I don't know how old you are, but I'm 65 and have own just about
all the rifles a man would want to own. When I was a young Buck and full of
Vineger I could care less about recoil. I have 49 long guns and 8 hand guns
and 8yrs ago I went and bought me a Ruger 6.5mmSwede. So far I love it.
All my guns are for my son if he wants them.
