[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2287699, member: 10755"] We spent months shouldering different rifles, Rem Model 7’s, Weatherby Vanguards, Tikka T3 Lites, Model 70 EW’s and some other obscure rifles like a Mossberg and a CZ something or other. The Model 7 fit really well, but the only model in stock was a 243…illegal for us to use on our deer. So after all the months looking we settled on the SPS Stainless in 7-08. Prior to this, my wife has shot and used all of my comp guns, 22-250AI, 264WM & 300WM. As they are all very heavy she had no issue shooting them off a bench. Shooting my other rifles, all sporter weight models, the only 2 she liked were the 25-06 and 22-250 VSSF II that is stock other than having a switch barrel set-up. Her 222 is the gun she ALWAYS wants to use, but we can’t use that on deer even if we wanted to. She doesn’t like the 270, it’s too loud, which I totally agree with and everything else I have are just too much of a good thing in lightweight rifles. The SPS also has the super soft R3 recoil pad on it, however this has given her a false sense of security and she doesn’t hold the rifle tight enough. There really is no other cartridge I would be confident in her using, noise and blast is just right, even the 25-06 is noisier, although she can shoot those very well, especially my custom Ruger as it weighs over 10lbs. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
