I have been away from bolt action rifles for along time. Used lever rifles for several years now. Looking to get a Savage bolt action, Savage is what I'd had years ago. I've had 270 and 308 calibers, my shoulder isn't so good anymore but I want something bigger than a 243. considering a 7mm-08. How much difference is the recoil from the 308, which is what I was planning to go with but could change to the 7-08? I have been using a Marlin 30-30 and 44 mag and had used a 45-70 before my shoulder injury. Looking for a little more reach for whitetail hunting. Recoil was not an issue until a shoulder injury two years ago. The 45-70 in mid-level loads really make it ouch now. 30-30 and 44 mag are o.k., traditional 45-70 loads are alright too as long as I don't shoot a full box at a time.Thanks for opinions.
