Looking at a low recoil rig for the wife. Right now she is shooting a .308 but she says the recoil is bothersome... And she is getting ready to have a procedure done on her right shoulder. She won't be behind a rifle anytime soon, but she said she would like a lighter recoiling rifle for when she is able to resume shooting. We will probably keep her .308 as a hunting/backup rig. But she wants something that she will enjoy shooting "all day."
1000 yards is about as far as she'll ever get out to.
I'm a 30 cal guy and specifically magnums... So I'm just not familiar with the smaller, lighter-recoiling calibers.
I checked out the CM calibers, both 6 & 6.5. Looks like I can get brass for both... At least right now. Haven't checked on projectiles yet but I assume getting either one shouldn't be too impossible.
I also looked at 6 Dasher and brass was available but not as plentiful as the CM varieties... And I know very little about it anyway. And I didn't find many options for it in "off the shelf" rifles to boot. Not sure she is ready/willing for a custom precision build either.
Any other chamberings you all recommend I look at? (Preferably in a "factory" rifle)
