[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 891052, member: 12"] I am facing the same issues with one neck surgery last year and possibly another this year. It still effects my shoulder and I cannot shoot the large magnums anymore and even with a brake it leaves me hurting for a couple days. IMO go with a 8 lb 7 SAUM and a removable brake. You can spend time on the bench and take it off to confirm zero's/loads etc and then hunt with it with or without the brake, otherwise you might as well stay with the RUM and just try to brake it. LRM/STW will not be much different in comparable weight guns as they and the RUM really run neck and neck in MV and recoil. The SAUM will take the 180 to 2950, and couple guys locally are shooting that load to 1500. It also has proven to be easy to load, softer recoil, which is really what you are looking for it sounds like. I am sitting on a 7mm #4 benchmark barrel and brake, Lawton magnum LA and a special manners stock that weights 1 lb 14 oz, as I was going to do the LRM but pretty sure that is out the door when I started looking at the amount of recoil etc compared to others. I have got a 7.5 lb 300 WSM that hammers with 168 TTSXs that I am going to try to stay with for now and might drop the bullet to a 150 if I have to. Might even have to pull out that 6.5x47 or my 7-08 :) [/QUOTE]
