[QUOTE="ishootkittens, post: 749572, member: 23225"] As I said before. I am a fan of the .338lm and I root on anyone who wants to tackle it! But this guy is over 50 and hes looking for a gun with little recoil and muzzle blast. .338's are usually pretty heavy and I dont think he wants to lug that thing around when he's hiking all over the Rockies. And if he found a .338 that doesnt way much then the recoil is going to be much stiffer. I just dont see a reason why he wouldnt have much success with a .300 (wsm, win, weatherby, or even a -06) with the 210-220gr bullets. I get what youre saying though Broz. If I had a .338lm and could afford ammo for it. I would be the same way. I am biased towards the .30s because i have never shot anything with em that didnt drop straight down. [/QUOTE]
