[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 727748, member: 30902"] No I'm just saying that out to 500yds the 06 has all you need to kill an Elk and with less recoil than the 300wm by a good bit. The BAR is an inherently accurate weapon within that range as well. Put a good muzzle brake on either and the recoil should be quite tolerable especially with a limbsaver or similar recoil pad added to the mix. The Semi Auto action has it's own built in recoil reduction system since the gas and springs act as a gas powered shock absorber in a way as the action cycles. All that being said my little six and eight year old nieces had no trouble shooting my sporter weight 7mm Mags 1 each remington 700bdl and Mod 70 classic. Each were shooting the same 162gr bullets and each with a good custom muzzle brake. Another good option would be the .264wm in a similar setup as far ans the limbsaver and muzzle brake are concerned. Heck at that range I wouldn't hesitate to use the .260 Rem to be honest. Unlike some of the stories you'll hear, Elk are just animals, not magical monsters than require massive amounts of energy from large projectiles traveling at warp speed to bring them down. Use a quality hunting bullet and put it where it belongs and they will die. [/QUOTE]
