[QUOTE="BEEMAN, post: 1353701, member: 38130"] Recoil is virtually nothing with my 6.5X47. I would think a Creed or 260 would not be much different. As long as elk are not hunted often, I to would go with a 6.5. If elk are hunted just keep shots closer. I wouldn't hesitate to shoot deer sized game out to 500 yds with the X47. Ring steel with my RBROS 6.5X47 out to 910 yds with no problem. It is heavy though at 15 lbs with optics. Recoil on that one is almost like shooting a pellet gun. Don't even go off target when shooting at 100 yds. [/QUOTE]
