Carlie, would you be able to tell us what the difference in felt recoil is in those various barrel changes ? I am looking to build a light weight gun but being of medium frame recoil is a big issue to me . I have been shooting a Sako deluxe 7rem mag for years and love the gun all 11 scoped pounds of it ,but its to dam heavy to carry up the mountain anymore. If I am unable to have a reasonable rate of recoil I will change calibers possibly to a 270wsm or similar after more reaserch. Not sold on what other caliber to switch to if nessasary but would like something that shoots as flat as my 7 mag. Thank you for your help and willingness to share the results of your test with us.
