My Kimber Montana 325WSM spits out 200gr partitions @ 2900fps and the recoil, although fast, is not especially heavy.
The rifle, scoped,slinged(but without ammo.) weighs 6.75 lbs.
It is great for packing in the Idaho elk mountains.
Absolutely.
Thats my rig too except for bullet brand. I have found (for me anyway) the ideal rough country elk killer.
