The one You can shoot the best and most accurate....and is legal in Your State!
I love using my Browning A-Bolt Hunter in the .243 Caliber,light recoil,very accurate and I'm comfortable with it and know my limitations.Next "Favorite" and most fun Rifle is the Savage Model 11 GCNS 7mm-08,bolt-action Rifle...again easy on recoil and very accurate.
My least Favorite...but it does the Job,my Remington 30-06 Bolt-action Rifle...how I turned it into a better more favorite Rifle?I bought the Remington Managed Recoil Shells and the recoil is comparable to my .243 Rifle!
