I know an older gentleman who has had shoulder surgery and back problems. He likes to shoot 500-1000yrds but his .308 is getting to be a bit much for him. He can take a couple of shots, but after that he has to put it down. I was wondering what everyone would recommend for a low recoil long range rifle. I was reading about things like 6BR, but it seems like you pretty much have to build your own rifle and he wouldn't want to mess with that. He can afford about $1500.00 for a rifle, and he reloads so price per round is less of a concern. This will only be used to punch holes in paper or ring a gong at 500-1000yrds, usually off a bench so weight isn't a big deal. He has other rifles if he wants to take meat or kill varmints. So the rifle doesn't need to have killing power at 1000yds just accuracy at that range.
