[QUOTE="Vikinger, post: 2405527, member: 121616"] Shoulder surgery is no joke. You are right to take care. 7-08 , or 260, 6.5 Swede seems like a good choice in your parameters. As you know, calibers don't kill, shot placement does. So it's not just what cal will kill an Elk, but what can Dad shoot A LOT? Enough to get confident, from field positions and make hits at will. As other have said, a good muzzle break can really help tame recoil, but one thing I'd add is that it's not just loud for the shooter, often it is worse for those to the sides. As someone said above, short range engagements can often be quick engagements. Makeing sure EVERYONE has plugs in place just adds another thing to setting up a shot. If you need a brake for fragile shoulders then that's the way it is, and thank God for brakes so you can keep shooting. Ear pro just becomes part of the game. But if you can get by with out one. I'd say get by. Threaded barrels are on everything the days. You can try with and without. [/QUOTE]
