[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2436903, member: 95344"] I can empathize because I have had gout for the last twenty years. And when I wrestled I've finished matches even with injuries like a dislocated ankle or separated ribs so I understand pain. Joint pain from RA or gout isn't nice. You 243 Win will be fine for deer and competition shooting. A mile will be probably too far but there are other alternatives. Working with your son or some trust worthy shooters will help to test the waters on what is acceptable recoil. Meaning if you find a certain rifle comfortable they might be able to tell you how the recoil feels on larger cartridges in comparison. A 284 Win in a long action with 30 inch barrel might get you to a mile with less recoil. I say set up your 243 win or look into the 6mm varieties others have mentioned. All are good choices. George Gardner competed with a 243 win years ago for 1000 yard sniper competitions. You'll find that on 6mmbr.com. Stay in good health and have fun! [/QUOTE]
