[QUOTE="tdot, post: 2327473, member: 91330"] Depending on what you're hunting, and the amount of money you want to throw at this project. I'd consider reloading the 7-08 with some of the 101 grain Hammer Hunters. I'm reloading these in my buddies 7-08 and I'm shocked how little recoil there is, certainly less then a typical. 243. I'd certainly take any deer sized game or smaller black bear out to 250 yards ( I haven't looked at Ballistics beyond that, as that is the my buddies personal limit as a new hunter) If that is still too much, throw the barreled action in a Chassis, such as the XLR Element, this will give you options to add weights, a mercury reducer and possibly even a muzzle brake. These additions will limit the 7-08 to extremely low felt recoil. [/QUOTE]
