Rifle for the wife

I have harvested 14 bucks and 2 bull elk, but, what do I know.
I have a pretty good idea based on your comments and lack of understanding of how recoil is calculated and how you are under the false notion that cartridge design makes a difference in accuracy...When accuracy has EVERYTHING to do with the barrel and how well your rifle is setup, regardless of what cartridge it's chambered for.
 
Thanks, I'll try to be less vocal, as I learn by experience, not as much as reading, so I don't know
Numbers and such, but I do know some things.
Not as educated as some here, but I have lived it for real.
 
I will concede that the creedmoor case is an inherently efficient design, and capable of accuracy. but there are several other short action chamberings just as capable in 6.5mm. It's ability to take game is no better than virtually any other commercially popular short action chambering.
a 6.5 creedmoor does not kill a deer with a 143gr eld-x any better than a 260 rem or 6.5x47L shooting the exact same bullet

the man was asking about a lighter recoiling option for his wife with a neck issue. and the fact of the matter is that 6.5 creedmoor recoils more than a .243, I can post you recoil charts if you require such proof.

your hunting experience and range experience does not pertain to the original post. I am not trying to push you away from this forum, was only setting things straight.

I see that using logic and facts is of no use here, but I guess one can still try, considering you resorted to telling me that I suck on the internet, I don't think I will be successful. This has been entertaining however

once again, apologies to the OP
 
Been doing the same for the girls in my life. Leaned towards the 7-08, wood stocks so they can be cut to fit and loading with light all copper bullets. I've considered the Weatherby Camilla, but it's still on the heavier side in the more affordable vanguard model. Win m70 featherlight is where I'm likely headed. Good luck in your search and finding the right rig for your wife, it's great she wants to hunt.
