Need help
Hey guys, I am wanting to spoil myself with a new rifle. Mainly for deer. I want something that doesnt have much recoil but still packs a punch. I am leaning towards a 308 right now. What are your thoughts?

RE: Need help
Any of the 308 based cartridges are great shooters, have low recoil, and will effectively kill deer for about as far as anyone should be shooting at them. You really can' t go wrong with the 308, 7mm-08, or 260 remington. I personally like the 260, but you' ll find just as many like the 7mm or 308. Really, they are all excellent for deer.

Nicolas, you' ve described the 7MM-08 to a tee!
I' ve always been a fan of the .308 Winchester, but after shooting the 7MM-08, I am convinced that it is the ultimate deer caliber!
