[QUOTE="Beaver10, post: 1600410, member: 108286"] Speaking of shooting at a bench or in the dirt at paper or steel...It’s pretty much been proven that most joe’s can shoot a low recoiling rifle better than a magnum. For that matter, any medium to large critter rifle in a lightweight package, including a 7/08 as an example, where the weight to chambering makes the rifle “snappy”, some aren’t going to shoot it as well as something in the 223 Win arena where recoil is almost unnoticed...It’s just a fact. It’s not a slam against anyone. Some who hunt a magnum can do the obligatory proper sighting in of their magnum without giving away any accuracy. Same goes for the shot made in the field at fur versus printing holes in paper...A lot of joe’s can make a great shot with their magnum again, and again...Not a problem. But, it’s the joe who has trouble on the bench sighting in that magnum or that “snappy” lightweight rig who will likely have some trouble in the field with a missed shot, or worse, the unenviable wounding that takes all hands on deck to track down and put a final into their game animal... I’m not talking about ethics here at all...Swing whatever you want. You’re the one who will know first if recoil bothers you. The rest of us will see it on the hunt when it becomes a regular rodeo you bring us into with missed shots or woundings because you are having issues at the break of the trigger. I hunt with a magnum, always have after being learned up properly on an 06 at the young age where I could control the recoil enough to know it wasn’t something to fear...With that said, I enjoy practicing with my big game rifles, but I prefer to play with any rifle that has less recoil.
