RE: 7mm Mag
I use my dads sometimes. It definatly has some recoil, but that doesn't bother me to much. Under 100 yards? I'd say it has to much power under 100 yards. A 7mm mag is very powerful... if you want a good deer gun for under 100yds, get a .270 or .308 because they are both powerful but with less recoil.
