Your 7mm GNR is one of the most useful and under rated in your lineup. It also has a very unusual trait when used in conjunction with one of your "chambered brakes" that is actually has no notable recoil at all. It has to be experienced to believe. My much heavier and un-braked .256 Raptor bucks pretty good in comparison with only a 100 gr. bullet.

A well constructed 140 gr. 7mm bullet at around 2400 fps is basically equal to the old 7X57 rifle that has killed literally everything in the world, including Elephants. It has the penetration with the right bullets. Coupled with the shootability and precise placement possible it NEEDS to be in your African kit, just in case. I favor the 120 for deer sized game and figure the 140 would be better for all round bigger stuff. It just works. I think I could possibly manage it with a sprained wrist, provided it had that wonderful little brake!
