I have some Remington 125 gr PTD soft points and a couple 5 rounds mags around for AK deer slaying.

I don't think that new .308 is a wise choice if he considers the .270 as harsh but to each his own.

Having fired his .270 Browning 5 or 6 times and his very heavy .308 about 30 times, I say the R-25's recoil is much more manageable.
Coincidentally, I shot this gun today. The Dr. left it with me to try at my buddy's range. Only had a little ammo, so we just fired a couple three shot groups at 200 meters. The best was about 1 3/4".
Edit: Used Hornady Superformance 150 gr SST.

seems like a JP Recoil Eliminator (or sjc titan, etc.) would be a great addition to address the Dr's needs.
