Is the mag proprietary? Or is there a standard mag type that is compatible?

The magazines are unique to the Howa 1500 Action Richard. The rounds are virtually single stacked and AR-10 type magazines will not work. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/76352/Howa+ATIM5R308+Howa+243+Win%2F308+Win%2F7mm-08+Rem+5+rd+Black+Fi & https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/437/HOWA+ATIM10R308+MAG+243+708+308+10R

Proprietary mags. The AR-10 mags lock in at the side this one locks at the front. You can get them from many suppliers for $40. Watch the video and you'll see where it locks up and it's not AR 10 style.

It takes a standard AR10 style magazine

Hi Richard, a standard .308 magazine is compatible. Here is a Video on it. The only difference is the Stainless barrel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AFhSnFB9yo

I have shoulder problems, anyone know how the recoil is on this rifle?

Brutal I'm sure. I had a lung removed recently and have the same problem.

I have that rifle. The hogue stock, and weight, make it the softest shooting bolt .308 I've owned. So much so, my 12yo stick-thin son learned to shoot with it, and is is now his hunting rifle. If you have shoulder issues, get this rifle and use managed/light recoil ammo with it. If that is too much, or your shoulder is really bad, get a semi auto AR in .300blk and keep your hunts short range. (If you found this answer helpful, please mark it as the "Best Answer".

I was disabled because of neck and shoulder injuries and ended up hunting with a 243 with a muzzle brake for a couple years. It had very little recoil. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/26429/Savage+16FHSAK+243WIN+HFStainlessFB+MB

It will likely feel like a 12ga with 2&3/4 shells.

This is a bolt action so recoil will be substantial. You can look at a "semi-auto: for less recoil since some of the recoil energy is recirculated to chamber the next round. If you need a bolt action 308 you can have it equipped with a recoil dampening muzzle brake.

Brutal I'm sure. I had a lung removed recently and have the same problem.

Looking at the picture, is that a thread cap on the end?

Yes, that is what the 20 Threaded in the description means.

Yes, it is threaded, with a black cap. The firearm also has threaded in the description.
