[QUOTE="CharlieTN, post: 4670562, member: 10893"] This is an interesting thread and I love how most will admit that it comes down to unique factors or personal preference. When I first moved to Alaska I was young and broke so I wanted a gun I could kill everything with. I bought a Ruger M77 in 3338 WM. I HATED that gun. After about 5 rounds at the range my shoulder would be twitching so much I couldn’t shoot it anymore. I do blame the gun as much as the cartridge through as it just didn’t have the right ergonomics for me. Personally I’m not a fan of most of the magnums. Here in East Tennessee where I live and hunt they’re just not needed and destroy a lot of meat. To take that further I stay away from long actions. I like to be able to stay on the scope while I work the bolt and with a long action, the bolt of most guns will hit me in the face. [/QUOTE]
