Recoil wimp.................least I don't walk the woods constantly afraid of grizzlies and yes recoil sucks. By the way my Ruger .338 at 11 lbs is a *****cat to shoot compared to my win featherwight in 30/06 at 6.5 lbs.
The Ruger though, wears me out hikin in the mountains.
In this case smaller is always better.
ORIGINAL: bigger is better
I have to set one thing straight for the guy who said you should trade for a good /06 ... Are you some kind of recoil whimp??? And if you were to comeface to face with a grizz I knowfor a fact that 375 H&H's extra power is a comforting feeling...Meanwhile you and your empty /06 would be looking for a really nice tree to climb before you became a chew toy for the bear!!!
