elk rifle
I got selected to go on a elk hunt this fall in utah through hunt of a lifetime. But i have a issue. The biggest gun i have in my arsenol is a 6mm remington shooting 105gr pills. I talked to the outfitter he seemed kind of hesitant but claimed it would work if i felt comfortable with it. I was thinking of getting something a little bigger, but i need to try to keep the recoil around a 243 range. How big of a rifle do you all think i could get with a muzzlebreak or recoil pad or possibly both and keep it around 243 recoil. I was thinking a 7mm-08rem but i wasn't sure. Please give me you're opinions. I am a disabled hunter due to back injuries i can't substain a heavy knock from a large caliber and i have a fairly small frame.
