[QUOTE="7ultra, post: 65217, member: 2152"] I can only give you my experience with my gun in terms of recoil. The gun weighs 14 pounds, and is an absolute ***** cat and I shoot max or near max loads with 140 grain bullets. That said, this is with a heavy varmint contour barrel and hv mcmillan stock. I would imagine in a lighter gun, say 7-8 pounds, recoil would be in between the 260 and 270. Recoil would be a little heavier, but not at all uncomfortable. In terms of range, I think he will have more than enough gun. Deer will be in real trouble, as will Elk with good bullet placement. In terms of twist, I would recommend a 1 in 8. That will give him the best twist for the heavy bullets (140s), which will be perfectly at home for the LR sport. [/QUOTE]
