Thanks.
As for recoil, I dont know anyone who has one, thats practical. But, hes shot my 25-06AI, my dads 30-06 and a host of 243s and smaller. I really dont think he will have a problem. Now, maybe with one of the 06 based cases, shooting it alot, he might run into problems. But from what others have told me, the 7-08 should be fine.
I know a couple of folks that got em, but they are over a thousand miles from here, not practical. But one of them got it for his wife and says she loves it. Hes stouter than most women. I think he will be fine.
Hes trying to talk me into shootin the 500 SW. I told him I didnt feel like a hospital trip to get the hammer out of his skull. Hes nervie.
