[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 954066, member: 51650"] My $0.02: Get a 7mm RemMag. They recoil about like a 30/06 but the bullets you use (160gr-180gr) will have a higher BC. The 30/06 needs at least a 180gr and better a 210+ grain bullet so velocity will be slower than the 7mm RemMag. I own a 30/06 and shoot my youngest's 300 WinMag regularly. The 7mm RemMag is still my suggestion for you. If you have any doubt about recoil, don't go there. Me and the boys thrive on a good wallop from a magnum. But it is a bad move to pick one if you shy from the hit. KB [/QUOTE]
