Slappy got it right. RECOIL was a primary factor for me. I wanted three same caliber rifles that me and my very dainty daughters could hunt with. I first traded for a 308 AR-10, to much recoil for the girls, but a vast improvement over my Rem. 760 30-06. When we target shoot, I sneak in an empty chamber; they don't flinch when the hammer falls on their Grendels.
