[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2033554, member: 10755"] This the thing with recoil questions, what I think is mild may just be the upper limit for someone else. His is why I recommended the 22-250 or similar to START with, then moving up to a 6.5x47. I have never fired another 6.5x47 other than my own, recoil is negligible in my rifle, it weighs 15+lbs. I had no choice but to sell all my big bores, 458 Lott, 404 Jeffrey and 505 Gibbs due to a neck injury at work. I kept my 416 Rigby, but it only gets used on water buff, maybe twice a year now. Recoil on that to me is a big push, my 375 Bee kicks way harder, but for nostalgia reasons I will keep it. Just go slowly when you start shooting again. I started with 10 rounds total for the first half dozen outings, then 20 for a few more then I moved up the 6.5x47 and shot a mid range match to see how I was doing, my technique had changed and my shooting was awful to say the least. Took some time to get back in the groove as my right arm is no longer attached to my shoulder blade, had both ends of the shoulder blade and collar bone removed, they now float independent of each other. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
