[QUOTE="matemike, post: 1007205, member: 78984"] Gotta love the truck competitions on a hunting/gun forum. I'm not a diesel boy, just don't have a need for it. I'll stick to my GMC 6.2L gasser which hauls the fam and groceries around with 430 rwhp. But I still have to add; my favorite opinion I ever heard was that Dodge trucks are great when they're new. Their Cummins engines are fast and easy to build up to do extreme things, they tow great and win races, you just better be sure to bring a few buckets to pick up all the crap that rattled off the truck during during that race. Now with that said, back to the OP's question I shoot a Browning A-bolt with the BOSS in 7mm Rem mag and find it to be very capable and accurate. Recoil is not a problem for me at 6' 170 lbs. I've shot the .30 cals and do find them to be a little heavier on the recoil, even braked, but nothing that would have made me toss the gun aside forever. They can very well be tame enough for you, you just have to decide for yourself on this one. And to reiterate; it's all about shot placement. I've killed whitetails with bow and arrow, I've also lost them when hit "perfectly" with the 7mm Rem mag. Choose something you can shoot well, that you shoot often and are confident with at your desired range. [/QUOTE]
