I own a 7mm Rem Mag, arguably not the best rifle for deer but I wanted something that was kind of an all around weapon, just in case I get the oppurtunity to hunt larger animals.

It has some pretty good kick but definitly not unbearable.

I have read of some new lower recoil cartridges that are out now and am curious to see if they work.

I suggest trying out some guns if possible to see what you are comfortable with.
