my dilema

great advice !!!.....the .308 for long range target work, 6.5 for black bear and moose, .257 for deer, .243 for 'yotes and a brand new [lol] tikka varmint .223 for groundhogs [paid for courtesy of the cannons] ......and I'm good to go.......yeah baby
 
I owned a Tikka 300 and one trip to the range was all I needed.
Pewf, gone.
The other magnum was one of dad's I inherited.
I could hear the gal groan over the years. I had no intention of using it.
Off to Jennings for his custom installed brake.
Took the heavy bite out of recoil and is now a pleasure to shoot.
If not for being dad's old blessed beat up old rig, I wouldn't have the penchant to
own or shoot a magnum.
No need for such a critter.
Loading your own ammo can help reduce recoil as well.
 
I'm not trying to side-track this very fine thread, but does anybody on here have a pacemaker and if so does it tolerate recoil ?
I was fitted with a pacemaker in the left side a couple days ago and I shoot right -handed, but some of my 'toys' have substantial push and I'm wondering if shooting will cause damage even if the recoil is on the opposite shoulder ..... does anybody have experience with one ?

I have a relative that was fitted with a pacemaker a number of years ago. A little extra effort was required in the installation as the individual in question is a left handed shooter and as such, requested the pacemaker be placed on the right side. Long story short, the recoil of firearms, up to and including a 375 H&H, used in a hunt in Africa, has never been a problem to date.

Thanks for that Johnn, I seriously do appreciate !
I'll admit to being more than a little bit concerned, however after several heart stoppages I was certainly not going to refuse the pacemaker.

Sorry for the side-track fellas... Carry on..
 
Do you handload OP?.
An 8 pound 6.5x55 with a well-fitted stock, nice squishy recoil pad, loaded with 120gr mono's, is a total pussycat for recoil.
And, will cleanly take any game below the bigger of bears.
Good times for those longer strings at the range, maybe loaded with cheaper 120gr cup and core's, and perhaps a sissy bag between shoulder and butt?.
No obnoxious muzzle brake will be required.
 
hi !
i have maybe ot dilema but ,
right now i have bar in 30-06+good 1.5-6x42 scope and 12 gauge rifle ,
and now i want something "better"
so i decided to spend 4-4.5k on rifle
now dilema is ,
double rifle in 9,3x74r with wide scope ,,
or
some really great rifle in 9,3x62 with good scope in 50% price probably 2-3k

hunt will be driven on wild boar ,and for rest i will use 30-06
i know bar in 30-06 is great for all but ,i feel in 9,3 cal will be even better
plus that hunting with SxS double rifle give some old kind feel ,like proper hunt
and using semi auto in hunt is like war vs animals
i did last year on boar with o/u 12 guage single shoot ammo ,some brenneke kind slugs
and was more fun then with bar
but price of double rifle drive me nuts
chapuis ugex in 9,3 cost around 4-4.5k with scope
and great rifle like merkel helix 3k ,sako 85 3k ,mauser 03 2-3k
so dilema dilema dilema
spend money on dr (credit card normally) or bolt rifle
