[QUOTE="HarryN, post: 838282, member: 69773"] After a shoulder rebuild a few years ago, the kick of my 270 win rem 700 started to be a bit much for having fun at the range. I have done the same exercise as you, considering to move to something lighter kicking, short action, etc. At least for now, I decided to just go with lower recoil loads and stay with the normal 270 win setup and just stay with my standard setup. For your wife and daughter, it might actually be handy if all of you can shoot a similar commercial bullet, with customized enhancements. - Low recoil / low bullet mass setups, as desired - More powerful setups, as desired - Ability to buy commercial ammo, as needed I am far behind the hunters on this forum, so far just a simple, 30 years with one hunting rifle owner. So far, it is working, but I also see that much more can be achieved even with some modest improvements and investments. Step one would be to put the scope on it, but I like iron sights for some reason, probably to give me an excuse for missing the target. :) [/QUOTE]
