So, been thinking forever about getting a Ruger No1 RSI, I've always wanted one, and its not an overly expensive rifle, just never got around to getting one. This year, soon, I think I'm going to finally get one. I want it to be chambered in something different. Originally I had always wanted one in the classic 30-06, but have been really studying up on 7x57.
The No1 isn't exactly a "popular" rifle, so I think it'd be just that much more neat having one in something different. It's primary use is just North American game. I doubt I'll ever go after moose or anything bigger than mule deer.
That said, anyone hunt/target shoot or enjoy loading for the 7x57?
In regards to white tail, I think too many people use way to much gun for deer. There's no such thing as "too dead" but I want to enjoy shooting the rifle aside from hunting season, and I've read that the 7x57 recoil is pretty shooter friendly. If so, what does it compare to?
I'm not recoil sensitive, but not a fan of needlessly beating myself up either.
