I shoot a 7mm remington and a 7mm Ultra, both in a 700 series and neither kick too bad. Went with boyd thumbhole stocks on both gun and the ultra now kicks similar to a 25-06.

He took it to the best gunsmiths locally and had it muzzle braked and a recoil pad put on; say it shoots more like a 243 now. He claims 1 shot kills on 3 elk and 1 bear in 3 years.
	Elk hunting at 9000 ft is easy. Dragging that elk out at 9000 ft is hard!

	When I was younger I used to think I was superman, lifting large stones and leaping over tall buildings and the likes. Now I know better I just go fishing for fun.
