[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 1942407, member: 99039"] The recoil on a 7 Rem Mag is not brutal, not sure what rifles you are looking at, I would suggest Bergara B14 in either HMR or Wilderness, with the Wilderness you get a muzzle brake and Cerakoted barrel. I purchased the HMR for the Grandson and working up a load using Hornady brass, CCI 250 LRM, H1000 powder and Berger 168VLD Hunting, I was able to get it to shoot sub MOA with a ES of 12 and SD of 8. It is a very accurate rifle and the recoil is not uncomfortable, I can hold it on target with some muzzle jump without a brake, with a brake I would imagine it would be like a 223 or maybe at worse a 6.5 Creed. You can also get a 6.5 PRC in the Bergara lineup as well, both are good cartridges, but the 7 mag would have more oomph for Elk. [/QUOTE]
