[QUOTE="gillettehunter, post: 801340, member: 25760"] With the ladies involved you are looking for something with a light recoil. Leaves out the magnums. 7mm-08 is another good choice. Essentially just the .308 necked down. Good range of bullets to choose from with light recoil. Or you could look at the .26 calibers. they will easily get it done on a deer out to 800 yards, Light recoil and some good bullets to choose from. I have a 6.5-06. Recoil is modest. No brake and no trouble shooting 30-40 rounds in a session. 6.5X47. Very accurate and very light recoil. Still will move a 130 gr bullet over 2800 FPS. Lots of different 6.5's to choose from. The current favorite of a lot of people is the 6.5X284. Great caliber thats very shootable. The .308 will get done what you want to do. The 6.5's will have a bit more speed and shoot a little flatter. Bruce [/QUOTE]
