I have two rifles I want to use for hunting. Unfortunately can't make up my mind which is the better option. First and favorite is a Browning X bolt 300 wm medallion. Have always loved the caliber. Second choice is a Tikka T-3 stainless 300 wsm. Problem is after a shoulder surgery they are a bit brutal so I must add a brake. I'm on a very limited income forced medical retirement and cannot do both rifles. I live out west and can sometimes get long shots and am not sure if the 300 wsm would reach as far as the 300 wm. In order to shoot either comfortably it would take a brake and probably a new pad to start with. Need some input on taming the recoil, ie: recommended brakes, pad, and some ideas on which would be the smarter choice in rifles. All would be greatly appreciated. I'm 65 yrs young and have been hunting since age of 12. Thanks
