RE: Make up my mind!!!!
Winchester Model 70- I just bought one 3 weeks ago in 7mm-.08 (used, 1950) and have been to the range with it twice. Managable recoil and so far it seems to be accurate enough for me.I'd suggest the same: less recoil than the 30-06 and comparable performance unless you're going for big game (Moose, Bear). The true test will be when I get it out into the field. Good luck to you.
