[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1742548, member: 78762"] My unbraked 7mag kicks harder than my Savage 338 lapua. For the record, it’s a 112 mag target with Weaver tac 6-30x, it weighs about 17#. The 7mag is about 9#. So the trade off is the ideal mountain elk rifle would be the 9# 7mag but it recoils harder. The 17# lapua kicks less, but it’s 17#s. To some that’s a problem, but I have carried a 20# chainsaw and about 10# of timber cutting gear on my belt for 22 years, along with heavy logger boots that come in at 8#. So I most definitely would pick the lapua, my hunting boots are about 3# . [/QUOTE]
