[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2438031, member: 118816"] When I read your first post I knew there were going to be a zilllion different recommendations, and the posts above have not proven my thoughts wrong. If you want to simplify [I] your life and not have to take out a second mortgage on your house for what you want to do sti[/I]ck with your 6.5 Creed for deer and antelope size animals. For Elk on up to the big bears and everything in between a 300 Win Mag or 7MM Rem Mag will do the job nicely but with a caveat that both will need a good muzzle brake [I]installed to meet your recoil requirements.(My 300WM with a brake has about the same recoil as a .243) As for a rifle I would recommend a Tikka T3x or Browning, probably an AB3 in either the 300WM or 7mm Rem. In addition to affordable rifles, both are very accurate (The AB3 is as accurate as the X bolt but half the price) and there is a big variety of factory ammunition for either caliber under normal circumstances almost anywhere in the world.
