[QUOTE="jakeway, post: 1683535, member: 280"] "Same Recoil" is theoretical, and it's not exactly the same unless it's in two rifles with exactly the same stock shape, the same weight, and shooting bullets of the same weight and velocity. The '06 shoots the same weight bullet slightly faster, so it has slightly harder kick. You may not notice the increased kick except after a long day at the range. The thing with the 7mm-08 is that you shoot slightly smaller, lighter bullets and get the same results. So the kick is less, the trajectory is flatter, and the bullets are less expensive (if you load your own, because the 308 family case takes less powder.) I'd recommend the Marlin in a 7mm-08. If they make it in 260 REM that's even better, but you probably would have to reload to keep in supply of inexpensive ammo. The cost saving of the Marlin over the Vangard is enough to buy practically all the reloading equipment you need. You can load a box of 308 family shells for about half the cost of factory loads.
