[QUOTE="cohunter14, post: 945256, member: 55580"] I would suggest going to a range and trying to shoot some of the different calibers available. That is the only real way to figure out how much recoil you can handle. I would also suggest that you post up more information of what you are hoping to accomplish with this gun. You did post on the 'long range hunting' forum, so we have to assume that you want to be able to shoot a reasonable distance. But how far is that? 500 yards? 1,000 yards? That can help answer your question a lot. You don't need the heavier recoiling calibers if you aren't going to shoot that long. You also don't have to buy a very expensive rifle if you are going to keep your shots shorter (the longer you get, the more accuracy you need out of your rifle). [/QUOTE]
