It's really not a complicated question fellas.Apparently so, but don't worry because you aren't the only one it seems...
The typical .308 throws a 150-grain bullet about 2800 fps. and produces over 15 ft. lbs. of recoil in an average weight rifle. In a lightweight rifle, it's close to an '06 in felt recoil and while experienced men may not find this "punishing" I know a lot of folks who don't want to shoot that all day long. Especially from the light rifles they are making today with the tupperware stocks.
A 7.62x39 throws a 150-grain bullet about 2250 fps. and produces about 8 lbs. of felt recoil.
Now, if you don't think there is room between 2800 fps and 15 lbs and 2250 and 8 lbs., you're on your own. I got nothin'
Personally, I think there is, and I think the American whitetail hunter would eat it up.
