[QUOTE="J Doss, post: 1647941, member: 109284"] I totally understand your dad's issues and desires. If his doctor will allow him to continue shooting, I would back off the heavier calibers and look at something like a 270, 243 or a 6 or 6.5 creedmore. Any of those, or similar, calibers will work like champs out past 300yds. They will produce less recoil, especially with something below max velocity rounds. I have some upper back issues from time to time and occasionally have to back off my 7mm Rem Mag to one of my 270s or 243s. If I think there might be a chance of shots past 400yds, I prefer the one of my 270s. I have cleanly taken whitetails out past 600yds with a 270. I won't push my 243 past 400yds on whitetails - don't want to chance loosing a wounded deer in the West Texas brush. Hope the docs get your dad straightened out. Our Prayers are with y'all. Good Luck!!!! [/QUOTE]
