[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2144023, member: 117774"] I have a Pre 64 Model 70 338 win mag with a Shillen Match BBL that weighs under 8 lbs with scope slings and bullets that shoots inside 1/2 MOA that stays mostly in the safe because it kicks a bunch and I don't like muzzle breaks. I have found my tolerance for recoil is a 7.75 Lb 300 WSM. I have lost one elk in my lifetime and that animal was shot with a 284 Win. It was due to a bad angle where deep penetration was needed to reach the vitals. I have since discovered another 100 fps with that rifle due to a switch in powders which probably would have prevented that lost animal. That was my only animal lost since I took my first deer almost 55 years ago. [/QUOTE]
