I've got 2 very light 7mm-08's that I really don't find any different to shoot than my 1 1/2-2 lbs heavier 30-06.



Man, your avatar is... hypnotic... grin

Anyway, that's not my experience. My 7-08 is pretty light (M700 Mountain Rifle) and it's a significant step down in recoil from my heavier 30-06. That's with 140's in the 7-08 and 165's in the '06. They have the same laminate stock, other than the action length. The barrel on the '06 is sporter-profile (heavier).

With 120's in the 7-08, it's a pretty BIG step down in recoil.

At least that's how I percieve it.



The CENTER will hold.
