[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 538738, member: 24624"] I agree with a lot of what you're saying. But, I would put a different spin on it. Since we don't discuss ethics here, I can only speak for myself. But, if I was into LRH and wasn't setting out to call an elk into close range, then I'd simply feel more comfortable with an extra safety margin. i.e. bigger cartridge Regardless of the cartridge, I would expect myself to be 99.9% certain of hitting the vitals under the actual conditions at the time. If you simply don't like recoil, then weight and brakes will solve the problem. So, there's no excuse for being under-gunned. It's all relative. If 7RM won't reach out far enough to your liking, you either need faster mv such as 7STW with the added expense of ammo and barrel life. Or, you need to step up to 30 cal or 338. I put a 300 WM barrel on my Sendero and my 15yo son shot it just fine. Once I stick a brake on it, I expect he'll be shooting 20 shot strings without hesitation. JMO -- richard [/QUOTE]
