Well I am mainly saying i have shot that firearm and had less recoil than my lower end 30-06 and 308 that i currently have. I am having a hard time typing that out. I am open to any caliber that will cover all of those animals. Looking for a good brand that other hunter like to look at so i can look at it and see if it fits me well and see if i like it. Trying to find suggestions at this point. My Brother has a 300 wetherby magnum and it has a muzzle break and a a really nice stock and doesnt hurt near as much as my 06 to shoot by shear physics it shouldnt work that way either but it does. So just looking for suggestions. My current gun is a very accurate gun but everyone that shoots it complains about it beating them to death it only also weights like 4.5 pound so near nothing. no muzzle break and the butt stock has next to nothing to it. its also a gun i bought off a buddy for for 150$ he bought from walmart for 400$ shot three times and hated. I was with for the purchase and every shot. But couldnt pass the deal.
