[QUOTE="NORAG, post: 1025383, member: 86029"] Welcome A04Goat! I disagree about the 300 win mag being a good choice for a guy whose got little experience with rifles, and none to speak of in the past 15 years. That caliber can, and does, bring 200 lb grown men to tears. Adding a muzzle break will reduce the felt recoil, but there are still better choices than the 300 win mag. The 7mm Remington Magnum is a good choice ballistically and generates about as much felt recoil as the 30-06, which is FAR less than that generated by the 300 win mag. That said, with heavier grain bullets, the 30-06 can reach as far as the 300 win mag and be just as deadly out to 1000 meters. The 30-06 is a VERY versatile caliber and you can work your way up from practicing with 150 grain rounds with very, very little recoil as you develop the fundamentals of precision marksmanship, then use the same rifle to shoot 220 grain bullets to take CXP-3 game out to 1000 yards. Still, the 7mm Remington Magnum will do all the 30-06 will (and then some) out to 1200 yards. Plus, it shoots flatter trajectories overall, while delivering FAR less recoil than the 300 win mag to accomplish the same tasks. [/QUOTE]
