[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 2001944, member: 60453"] I just read the first question. Didn't see the recoil sensitive part. Go with either the 308 or the -06 loaded with 150 or 165 grain bullets and a MV of around 2700fps. You might also use a 24" heavy sporter barrel, and a muzzle brake. Savage used to make a brake that could be turned on or off. An adjustable brake would allow you to shoot a heavier bullet from the bench and not notice the recoil in whatever caliber you wanted to use. You could then close it off and save your hearing while hunting. [/QUOTE]
