[QUOTE="WyoHunter1, post: 1400209, member: 89613"] I don't want to step on any feet here. But I guess everybody has a different tolerance for recoil and to me a 300wby with a muzzle brake is not bad. It is a push instead of a sharp jab like a 270 is. But a 300 wby with lighter bullets is not bad to shoot and will handle everything from Pigs, Antelope thru Deer and Elk if you don't go too light on the bullets. Then it will do Deer, Elk thru the biggest bears with heavier bullets. The best option for all of this is hand loading and the realization that there is more recoil with this caliber then with others. But if a person wants - this caliber can do it all. As others have said - you can always get a smaller caliber for now and buy a bigger caliber later. As mentioned a 7mag still has plenty of power for a all in 1 rifle or a 280 REM would be a good choice also. You don't have to spend $2,000 on a Mark V, check out a WBY Vanguard or Remington or Winchester in 300Wby for less than half the price. [/QUOTE]
