[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 847308, member: 34818"] If you don't mind having hearing protection handy, you can get 20-22" barrel chambered in 7mm-08 and put a brake on it. Shoot 140 to 160 gr bullets without worrying about recoil at all because of the brake. You can buy really good 308 win lapua brass, neck it down to 7mm, load and go. Any elk 400 yards or less will be toast if you do your part. You could easily get a 6-8 lb rifle out off it. 7mm bullets have a good BC as well but won't really play much of a factor since you are only shooting to 400 yds. The heavy 7mm bullets will buck the wind pretty good. 308 brass will be around FOREVER. And 7mm bullets arnt going anywhere either. And actually, a 7mm-08 is pretty mild recoil. You probably wouldn't even have to brake it. [/QUOTE]
