[QUOTE="the444shooter, post: 1245058, member: 46"] If it's going to be a lightweight, packable rifle, then yes, I'd imagine it would belt you pretty good. The break + suppressor combo helps immensely, but you'll still feel it. The option of a .308 is a very valid one--especially if you're shooting heavier bullets in it. have you considered one of the 6.5s (6.5creedmoor or .260rem)? Maybe even the 7-08? With either Accubond LRs, Bergers, or ELD-X projectiles those calibers you can get a little extra oomph out of them with lighter recoil. But if you're sticking with 500yds and under, maybe a .308 w/ 175-200gr ammo is your best bet. [/QUOTE]
