.338 Federal recoil?? - 02/21/10
I'm in the market for a Sako 85 Hunter with great wood. The only ones I can find are in .338 Federal. Not my first choice, I was looking for 6.5X55, .260, 7mm-08. I have a Longshot Rifles custom 7mmWSM I shoot F-Class with but it is too heavy to hunt with. Those who have shot and shoot the .338 Fed. Please compare the recoil to other calibers. I don't mind a little recoil but not a big fan, was hoping for lighter recoil.
I know there are a ton of other rifles out there. Probably can't afford one of the new Cooper 54's, and want a short action.
How about it, any .338 Federal lovers out there?
