Currently I have a .243 and .204, but am looking to add probably two more rifles to the collection. One would be a dedicated deer rifle so that I could let my son use the .243 when he's old enough to go with me. I'd like something a little bigger and so I was thinking .25-06 or 7mm-08.

I'd also like something for an elk or moose hunt that I'm saving up for in a couple of years. Frankly, I don't like recoil, and so I'd like to go with either a non-magnum, or one of the smaller magnums, but I definately want something adequate to take anything in N. America with the exception of maybe a grizz. I'm considering .30-06, 7mm mag, .300 WSM, and .300wm. I'm also planning on getting started on reloading soon, and so I thought the combination of a 7mm-08 and 7mm mag would let me use the same bullets for both, or atleast try the same for both.

Because I'm kind of anti-recoil, the thought of a .300wm scares me a bit. Are there any other aspects to this debate that I am overlooking? Does it matter which of those 4 I choose, or would any of them suit me fine? Oh, and it's not that my frame couldn't handle the recoil (6' 185lbs), I just don't like it and would be afraid that I would be less accurate.
