I have 3 weeks to decide on a gun for the HHC

I am now at a little over 3 weeks since the surgery on my right hand and I am not sure I can handle the recoil of my "baby", my 9" 41 GNR or my little stainless 9" 356 GNR. The stitches were taken out last week so everything is still tender.

I am going to get my guys to build me a couple of TC barrels. The 257 Raptor barrel is one of my favorite ones. I took a cow Yak at the HHC with it a couple of years ago. The 7 GNR has been my gun of choice for many years for the longer range shots. I will try several and see which ones work best. I usually go for a Bison or some big critter so I have to take that into consideration. The 41 GNR has never failed me yet on well over a dozen large Bison type animals but I don't want to go down too low in power. So I have 3 weeks to get ready.
