[QUOTE="brentc, post: 1161472, member: 16938"] Lets make that comparison at 700 yards with a 10 MPH gusting crosswind and see how you feel. I understand your argument, but I don't agree. This is a forum that specializes in the conversation of Long Range Hunting. Some might consider 200-300 yards long range and In this case I'd say your points are more valid. That 30/30 will work, but when you throw out a blanket statement like yours to the guy capable of tipping over a record book moose at 1200 yards, your argument crumbles to pieces. Guys here regularly prove the increased effectiveness of larger caliber rifles firing heavy high BC bullets. If you don't like the recoil, do like most of the guys here and get a muzzle brake. Not on the money at all concerning caliber choice. Elk are sturdy animals and if you intend to kill them at extended ranges go to the field with enough rifle and put a muzzle brake on it. Recoil should not even be considered as an issue. [/QUOTE]
