[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1480343, member: 2736"] I would have to recommend a 7/08 in a 6 to 7 lb rifle it will kill well at 7 to 800 yards and recoil will be 16 to 17 ft/lbs of recoil and with a good brake can be reduced to 6 to 7 pounds. I use one loaded with a 120 ballistic tip to 3000+ ft/sec. the 7 mm bullet is large enough to transfer the energy and anyone can handle 6 to 7 ft/lbs of recoil that it produces with a good brake (Very little increase over a 223. This cartridge will take Elk with very little fanfare. I consider it the perfect round for youths and the elderly because of it's killing power and its manageable recoil. [/QUOTE]
