Tonk says:

"What a mess of a thread! Well, I will pick neither the .308 or the 7mm-08 as any of my hunting rigs. I tried the 7mm-08 once with my daughter in a featherweight model 70 Winchester but to much muzzle jump and muzzle blast to suit her needs."


In fairness to the chambering proper,Winchester is the master of botching stock design. Such things do much to add felt recoil.

How far is "far" and how big of a critter is "big"?
