Hi Daryl:

Yes, my bones are getting older and love recoil less with every passing day. As a part of this firearms journey that I find myself on, I went through the high speed magnum-itis phase early on, and now that I've left that somewhat behind, I'm living out the romantic fantasy ties with the calibers that I could only read about in my youth.. I do have a lovely little Kersten lock combi gun in 7x57R under 16 gauge 2 1/2" circa 1937 that I will eventually gravitate to more and more as I become wiser and or older / more brittle with age. I'm already finding that my .500NE is becoming a bit much, and I wonder sometimes when I'll relent and sell it.
