[QUOTE="huntinherrrington, post: 1353549, member: 100601"] I personally like the 30-06 idea. 130-165ish gr bullets do wonders on deer sized animals with minimal recoil (depending in the range as to what bullet and grain). Step up to 215 berger for elk. I have many different rifles but always grab my 30-06 when i head to the woods. Not the coolest caliber i have but does the job every time. Also a good recoil butt pad is a nice aid to help felt recoil. Recoil is determined by the shooter. I started shooting a 30-06 at 12yrs old. To me a 30-06 is the standard or normal for recoil. If recoil is that big of a deal, get a 6.5 and keep the Elk shots closer. It seems you would be happer with a 6.5 for 95% of the time. What about a 6.5x284? The fast 6.5s really appeal to me for hunting. Like the 6.5 sherman. [/QUOTE]
