[QUOTE="Mark37082, post: 2555328, member: 120066"] This thread is an interesting read. As we get older a lot of things seem to change. I’m right at 160 lbs. and over 60 years old. Recoil has never been a problem while hunting, except when shooting very heavy shotgun loads from a duck blind. Those wood beams behind your head hurt when shooting shooting too close. I’m excited to get a build complete on 280ai in the 8.5 lb. range ready to hunt. I think this will be a sweet spot for me. I have lighter rifles and much heavier. Heavy are great at the range or when stationary, but light is awesome a few miles into the woods. [/QUOTE]
