My buddy hunts elk, mule deer, and bear in WY regularly with his 6.5 Grendel. Its got a muzzle brake, and when I shot it at the range the recoil was similar to that of a .223. I'm currently building one for my father-in-law for whitetail as he is recoil sensitive also. I use a 6.5CM, and with a muzzle brake is pretty light recoil. Just my $0.02.I'm also looking to get a new rifle for the hunt and for any other game I hunt like deer bear antelope and elk. I am recoil sensitive so I was leaning towards a 308 or would a 300 win mag with a muzzle brake be a better choice? I don't want to go undergunned.
