[quote:Anonymous Coward 68717544:MV8zNTI5NTg0XzYzMDU0Mjk3XzExNDAzRjM2] [quote:Lost Lady:MV8zNTI5NTg0XzYzMDU0MTM3X0U5RTk2OUU1] [quote:Lost Lady:MV8zNTI5NTg0XzYzMDUzNzcyXzY0QjUxQzY1] I have a Browning 243 X-bolt. I LOVE it! It has a very minimal recoil, it has a great design for the shoulder rest too...no ouchies. It's very accurate and has a really good distance capability. But, that's for long range. In the house, I keep a Ruger 357, loaded with Hornady Critical Defence ammo. My daughter has her Smith & Wesson Colt 45 as well. All three shoot very nicely and don't have much for recoil. I'm embarrassed to say that I've also a cheap, pretty much throwaway, Highpoint 9mm...but it is only a back up last resort. I don't recommend it to anyone. It's slide is very stiff, it's not very accurate, and it sometimes jams up. I don't like it at all, but I just can't bring myself to get rid of it. You know, the more the merrier! I hope this helps? No matter what, practice and get to know whatever you choose to purchase VERY well. The last thing you want to do is feel uncomfortable or nervous when it's time to use your new baby. :flower: [/quote] Just from another woman's point of view, of course. I had shoulder surgery, steel mill has not been nice to me over the years, and was also concerned with recoil. I swear, this 243 is all I've claimed it to be. [/quote] Honestly, I don't know why .243 isn't more popular among non-hunters. It has a reputation for burning out barrels quickly, but if you want a laser beam, .243 is about as close as you're going to get. [/quote]
Original Message
It's going to take a while to get permitted here in NY, so in the mean time I'd like to purchase a shotgun and rifle. I know there's plenty of threads on guns, however I'd like to discuss these 2 particular styles.
Any suggestions? For the shotgun, I'd like ease of use and minimal recoil, if that's possible. The rifle should have minimal recoil as well, along with great accuracy (yes, I know user input is the key factor in that, but I also know some designs are better than others)
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much!
