Need an new Elk Gun!

How was the 7prc to shoot without the suppressor? I know the Bergara is slightly heavier, but would the 7 fair well on a lighter gun?

I have the squared crest and it's not super light. It comes with a muzzle break OOB and then I put the supressor on it. Recoil is surprisingly light. Even my skinny son would shoot it all day. It's less than the Tikka light 270wsm.

If considering a Tikka in 7prc you should watch this video. Recoil does not look good in that lighter gun.

I'm kinda in the same boat... I already own a Rem 700 in 300WM, and I'm looking for something lighter (in weight) and with less recoil. Any one interested in my 300WM?

This fits into not knowing what you’d be getting into. If you already shot a light weight 308 and wanted to upgrade a notch, that would make sense, but going lighter and a heavier recoiling round is a big jump and odds go way up you won’t like it. I’d still suggest a light weight 308 or 7mm08.

If 300WM in a light gun is too much recoil for you....I do highly suggest one with a brake AND a suppressor, it made my elk trip quite pleasant this year...best to look at something in 7mm. You can still get more range than a 308 with less recoil.

Did I suggest a brake AND a suppressor?

243 or 6 creed. And sell the 308 to buy a supressor
