[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 1559275, member: 104437"] My son shot his 6x6 Bull Elk this Fall with, a Tikka T3X, 7mm-08 using, the fairly high BC, 150 grain ELD-X at, 2,850 FPS, Bullet Had good penetration/ Mushroom, at 250 yards. His 7mm-08 has LOW recoil, shoots about, 1/2 MOA ( 2 3/4" 640 yard groups,.. over a Pack, Prone ) We Hunt with Packs on, use Kifaru Gun Bearers to carry Rifles W/ Trekking Poles to get into, the back Country. We use shooting Sticks when sitting with, our Packs supporting the Rifles "Toe" for a VERY steady, shooting platform, when on a Slope ! I couldn't find a "Deal" on a Lefty, 7mm-08 so ended up with, a "closeout" Tikka T3, SS lite, in .270 WSM, I'm happy tho, as it too, works fine, AGAIN, with fairly LOW recoil ! We love our 7.5 Pound Rifles and feel that, they are "enough Gun" to 650-700 yards. [/QUOTE]
