I agree. When I read the op, I kept thinking a rifle like my boat paddle stocked stainless Ruger m77 mkII 30-06 would be just the ticket. 30-06 level of recoil has never bothered me and I've been shooting one since I was 12. I guess for some its a little too much, but ive always seen it as pretty tame. Not much beats it as a good all arounder for NA hunting.
