likely go .308 or 7mm Remington as the recoil is within a similar range with the Mag offering a little more versatility when you inevitably step up to elk sized game.
I'm likely going to pull the trigger (ugh, sorry) on the .308, from the resounding suggestions I'm getting in that direction. Everyone keeps giving the same reasons, which is great: low recoil, very available, good for reloading, good off the shelf, it's just good. Very helpful thread.
