I see lots saying the recoil on an 06' is too much... really? Have you ever felt the recoil on any rifle when you have a deer or elk in your sights, and you focus and pull the trigger? probably not...
The only place you'll find recoil being an issue is if you're going paper-punching and shoot a hundred rounds... at that point, take your 22lr with you, instead.
