haha im 5'7 and i way 130 I've used a 300 win mag for elk hunting but it was semi and as i know there will be a big diffarence in Recoil to a bolt and a semi but i think if i put on a limb saver it wont be so bad like Recoil is intence on that SOB so im trying to find a way to reduce recoil or maybe just get a WSM Caliber but i like the 300WM but i hate that it has so much dam recoil

One thing to consider is the cost of ammo. If you don't re-load, any caliber that has the word 'Magnum' or 'WSM' in it, add about $15.00 per box on to it compared to the standard .270, .308, and .30-06.

I have a .270wsm and a .300wm.I just love the .270 it is great to shoot!! I like my .300wm too but for NA that .270 will handle all comers if the proper bullet is used and you do your part. As far as factory ammo they are close in price to each other but you are getting more for your buck with the .300wm.Dont worry about shooting whitetail with a .300 I do it all the time and it does a great jod.

Ox, if you can go to a range you may want to try one or two just for fun. Also, shoulder a bunch and make sure that it fits you, feels nice in your hands. This could effect your choice.

I have a Sako 75 Finnlite 300WSM w/ a limbsaver and its a joy to shoot. 30 rounds off the bench no problem. I have also shot a kimber montana 325 WSM that kicks like a mule, I will never own that rifle/caliber. My best friend has a 300WM BAR w/ Boss, that he is selling to get a Sako, because he want a bolt, and the felt recoil on the BAR is more than my Sako.

7mm wsm, I love mine. Shoots great, I dont think recoil is to bad, but I weigh 2 times what you do!

Its been a long time since I have shot a 30-06, so I couldnt compare. I dont mind the recoil, but $30 bucks for the limbsaver, and I'm sure it would be tolerable.
