Yes, your 7mm-08 with 120 bullets or the lighter hammer bullets and a brake, or maybe even just a suppressor would be very light recoil. If you're interested in a new rifle (and who isn't?) one of the small 6.5 mms like the ARC would be my choice. I would get it with a threaded barrel. I keep hoping our gov't will quit treating suppressors like fully auto guns and let us by them over the counter.SUGGESTING TO USE 120 BARNES TTSX IN THE 7MM-08 WHICH I HAVE?
