[QUOTE="jacobdewey, post: 1521774, member: 87516"] Buy the biggest caliber with the most power that you can comfortably carry and accurately shoot. I would recommend a 7mm-08 or .308 if recoil and weight are an issue. I personally like a heavier gun for stability. My 7mm rm mountain rifle weighs 12lbs fully equipped with bipod, loaded mag, and 4 extra rounds on my sling. I packed it over 100 miles this season and was fine. (I'm 5'6" anda150lbs, so I'm pretty weak compared to a normal sized dude.) Its cumbersome and I cuss it when crawling through thick brush or steep mountains, but when it's time to actually make all that hard work pay off by dropping that elk or deer that first shot... I'm way more steady and comfortable than most, and at the end of the day, I'm there to fill the freezer....not to have a nice comfortable hike. [/QUOTE]
