[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 441197, member: 2011"] As I'm ahead of you dad in age but not quite there yet with the shoulders and knees I'll chime in. 60 is a quite young age to me missing out on the hunt. Especially when the son is considered. Those are great times out there! All advice given has been good. J E Custom's is pretty much spot on. The secret is the recoil pad! Plus I'd put a brake on any rifle you settle on. Even a 260 or 7-08. As for the recoil pad. Seeing as your going to put this rig together yourself I highly recommend the Limbsaver grind to fit. It will be way oversize for you stock. That is a good thing. When sanding to get the fit and finish, do no reduce the size of the butt end. Except maybe the top, depending on how you mount it. Taper the sides to the stock. I use this on a braked 338 RUM @ just under 10#s and its a pleasure to shoot, prone. The brake will necessitate hearing protection which I don't think has a down side. I use a set of the ones with sound and batteries for walk and stalk. Once you get used to the increased hearing ability its pretty good. Plus yur ears are always warm.:) [/QUOTE]
