I like my .338WM. Last shot about 10 years ago. Just because I've been shooting others.... the recoil doesn't bother me any. Nor the weight, for what I use it for.
The .260 ( rebarreled from .244) Rem 725 just took two caribou - probably use it for moose too.
Single shots work, but I really gotta replace that broken extractor....... the replacement has been sitting on the gun cabinet shelf for a year now...
