[QUOTE="bayou shooter, post: 1647660, member: 90502"] I am 68 and I can not take the recoil of the heavy guns anymore. A friend of mine put me on the daddy of all the 6.5s. I got a 6.5x55 Swede and it is now my go to rifle. I can use it to hunt anything on the North American continent with the right bullet. The recoil is so light your mother could shoot it. It is easy to reload for. I use 140 grain bullets and have never lost an animal yet, knock on wood. You don't need a brake to handle recoil. The 6.5 bullet is inherently accurate also. But, each to his own. The Swede has been used in Europe for over 100 years for moose. I for one love my Swede. [/QUOTE]
