[QUOTE="Tidus56, post: 2464862, member: 104495"] I would first ask can you shoot a big magnum and especially a light weight big magnum? I can’t and I am not a small guy. I can handle the recoil in the sense that it doesn’t hurt but still get a little flinchy. I have opted for guns in the 10-11 pound range and prefer the big 7mms. There are alot of options that will work fine, just keep in mind you need to be able to shoot it well. I would rather take a 6.5 of some flavor I can shoot really well than a giant 338 of some flavor I can’t. Just keep that in mind while you pick. For me 280 AI, 28 Nosler or 30-28 Nosler if reloading and custom. If factory rifle and ammo 300 PRC, 300 win, 7mm mag. Strictly opinions of course from the elk hunting I have done. [/QUOTE]
