What is the lowest recoiling rifle to reliably harvest deer and bear? (Yes, I hate recoil)
I don't bear hunt, so I can't answer that question. For the deer, I would say look at the 250 Savage and 6mm ARC. Too bad we don't live in 1936 because lots of mild cartridges worked for all sorts of game.
Surprised they weren't advertising the 25-35 for deer after it spent decades piling them up. (Then again, given Remington's marketing problems, maybe I'm *not* surprised!)
