Adam somthing you might want to look into is a browning lever action rifle in 7mm--08 would be a lot les recoil than a 270 or 7mag, its cheaper and easer to reload for,and the velosity is not far behind a 280rem.Im guessing you will never shoot over 200 yards.my pet hunting rifle is a coustom sako 2506 improved. with a 27inch lija barrel, I shot my antelope last year at no lie, 650 yards. But I do alot of off season long range shooting with this rifle,its a blast I love it.happy hunting!
