Gentlemen, Please go to my answer to the OP, on 8/05/23, and please note that I started with the 270 Win., a .308 Win, a 30-06, and a 7 Rem Mag. Again, I started with the .270 Win, and ended with the 7 Rem Mag….the 7 Rem is pretty tame as magnums go.
If a hunter wants to hunt elk and can’t handle a .270 Win properly…..he/she should take up needle point or golf.
Unless a grown man has some form of disability (shoulder, neck, retina, ect.), or serious age related issues and cannot handle the recoil of an 8 pound (scoped) .270, .308, ect hunting rifle ……. we really have become a nation of pussys!
If this offends any of you ….tough! memtb
