I'm looking for a new rifle or carbine.
I have a bad shooting shoulder so it needs to have light recoil I've never liked the AR platform. Pistol; grips are not for me. Needs to be short and fairly light Prefer bolt action Looking at 357 mag Ruger or 223 bolt action Ruger, CZ or some other brand Suggestions? |

Ruger American Ranch in .223 or .300blk
Lightweight and 16in barrel ETA: http://www.ruger.com/products/americanRifleRanch/models.html |

This. Get it in 7.62x39 or 6.5 grendel. If you reload you could use 100 grain ttsx bullets in the grendel at a modest 2500 or so and still have a 200 yard deer rifle with very very little recoil. |

Short/light and bolt action are going to increase felt recoil. If you're really recoil sensitive, get heavy and/or semi-auto.
You haven't really stated a purpose for the rifle...if it's just target shooting, seriously just get a .22. Then you can have short, light, low recoil and shoot all day. |

Here is my CZ 527 in .223 I just picked up. I was looking for something to pack around on my land and so far I'm loving it and it shoots great.
Attached File I mounted a Leopold Mark AR Mod 1 scope and it's a perfect match for this light handy rifle. |

Well, a .223/5.56 bolt action like the CZ above may suit your purpose.
If I was concerned about hogs, I'd probably want to step up to a .30 cal round. Perhaps the CZ 527 in .300 BLK? http://cz-usa.com/product/cz-527-american-synthetic-suppressor-ready/ If you step up to a full rifle round like .308, I think a semi-auto will help a bit with felt recoil like the BAR: http://www.browning.com/products/firearms/rifles/bar/current-production/bar-mk3-stalker-detachable-magazine.html I was going to say perhaps the Remington 750, but apparently it was discontinued. |
