[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1131281, member: 12193"] If you'll be chasing elk with this rifle I would absolutely go with a .300 WM. You can use lighter bullets (168s or 180s) for softer recoil, for deer, or for target shooting. Put a little muzzle brake on there and you can shoot all day from the bench comfortably. You also have the ability to step up to 200 grain or larger bullets that will be much better suited for long range elk. Any of the magnum calibers in a light weight rifle are going to kick hard. I would plan on using a brake, at least for load development and target shooting. [/QUOTE]
