RE: Looking to get into hunting...need direction on rifle and caliber.
I had a 7mm Rem. Mag for a number of years and hunted very successfully with it but decided to get something with less recoil. This year I purchased a rifle chambered for the 7mm-08 and have shot it at the range. The 7mm-08 is a very nice mild recoil cartridge that I have no problems with. The 7mm-08 also has a good selection of bullets if you reload. Good luck in your choice.
