[QUOTE="sigmatero, post: 322792, member: 9614"] This question probably gets asked a lot but what do you all recommend for the rifle with the lowest recoil that’s affordable and accurate and that can humanely harvest an elk at 850 yards (1500 ft-lb min energy) and a deer at 1000 yards (1000 ft-lb min energy)? I eventually want to get something like a .338 Edge but for now want to practice out to 1200 yards with something more affordable and with less kick. I already have a really light (5.5 lb) .270 mountain rifle for shots under 400 yards. This new rifle will be my mid-weight hunter. And eventually I want to get a heavy LRH rig. So far it looks like a 7mm might fit the bill if used with VLD bullets. But other options I should really consider? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
