[QUOTE="silverhair, post: 1647050, member: 109808"] I'm 69 years old. I don't have the neck issues, but find have had problems that necessitate a low-recoil rifle. At least one with no sharp recoil. I bought a Howa 6.5CM GameKing package. Moved the barreled action to a ProMag Archangel stock (I'm hard to fit - very long arms, high cheek). Very adjustable. Gentle recoil. The scope is fairly good (bright, clear, easy to zero, holds zero, returns to zero). I don't like the built-in bipod on the Archangel stock, replaced it with a Harris. For such a budget rifle, it shoots very accurately, easily sub-MOA, using low-end Hornady ammo. "Point blank range" of around 250 yds. Very little holdover needed at your max 300 yds range. It is a little on the heavy side, but since you're in a blind and not hiking around, that shouldn't be an issue. That's just my $00,000.02 woirth. And from an inexperienced shooter. [/QUOTE]
