This gun will strictly be a deer gun. I already have a 30-06, 7 mag, and a 300 wsm.

Ive prety much ruled out the Browning after looking closely at the 700.
I would like to have a 308, but Remington dosent offer it in the CDL.

I want a gun with a flat trajectory, low recoil, and as much knock down power as possible. 7mm08 should pack a bigger punch than a 243, but how is the recoil on it?Yall think it will be a little too much for a youngin?
