[QUOTE="Tyler Kemp, post: 179815, member: 6290"] A little under 2 years. Too bad I dented my mom's Suburban the other day. Stupid mutt ran out in front of me when I was on ice going doe hunting with my buddy. Needless to say, it was unharmed in the ditch, but when pulled out it slid right into the tractor. So now I'm out of money for a while until the dent is payed off, and it's a reaaaal nice one too, creased the back door and everything. With a 338 Edge, how is the recoil compared to one of the other extremely overbore calibers? I want to be able to spot hits by myself, and want an economic caliber to shoot. The 168 and 180 grain 7mm Bergers aren't too expensive, I would probably shoot them. They're coming out with 338 bullets this summer I think, but they will probably be expensive, too expensive for me. Then I also need to look into a nice scope. I got a Burris 8-32x from a guy on here, and I like it, but it just doesn't have a lot of adjustment. I definetly won't have the money for a Nightforce, what scope do you suggest? And as another question, what would be a caliber that uses a magnum bolt face but would be easy on barrels to practice with and cheap to shoot? (tricky question) I know I can just change it, but changing a barrel and going to shoot a different caliber would be quicker/easier/better. [/QUOTE]
