Consider a recoil absorbing garment to reduce the trauma. Working solely from memory, a company called PAST specializes in recoil absorbing technology. Perhaps a shoulder pad or jacket?

just looking on Gunbroker, found a nice, older 340 with 3x9 scope for 900. pretty good price.

If it is the one with the Sightron scope I would get the barrel re-crowned before sighting... it looks like someone rested the muzzle on the truck floor while cruising from stand to stand. And someone really butchered the rear of the stock....

I’m going to pass for now. I have a lot of time before it might be used.

I couldn't see the top of the crown in the picture but the bottom looked crisp.

well, bad news:

no bison permits this year.

last year, they had 2 permits, and 440 applicants. pretty narrow odds of drawing a permit.

this year, they have 0 permits, so even worse odds of drawing a permit.

so no excuse to buy a new rifle for me. drat.

Well that sucks, but if they are properly maintaining the population, I suppose that is the end result.

Rookie! I've always been able to find an excuse to buy a new firearm

Sorry about the permit situation. Sounds like it would've been a hoot

No, that just means you have extra time to find the right deal

Bah... sorry it didn't work out. That would've been a really nice Father/Son day.
