[QUOTE="Pinoniper, post: 1901781, member: 83870"] “Mountain rifle” = light. Light = more/faster recoil energy delivered to the shoulder, and more felt recoil. That’s just physics. Recoil is not a big deal (for most people) when you are taking one shot at game and possibly a follow up shot; but a hunter needs to practice with the field piece, and the more, the better. Shot placement trumps energy and 0.24” bullet diameter (blood channel) seven days a week and twice on Sunday. I’m too lazy right now to do it, but go look up whether the 6.5 might also have better sectional density (penetration) at the same velocity. For me, here’s the kicker: Since the 6.5 delivers all the energy you need and then some for your goals, why lug around a heavier rig which beats you up more? [/QUOTE]
