Shot lake chuck ducks WWII era russian mosin nagant and that thing kicks like a mule.

I wouldn't want to shoot a reduced power load. Get a gun shop to make you a muzzle brake for it. It will cost you $150-200, and will make that 7 mag kick like a .243. I got a 300wsm with a BOSS on it and my 10 year old nephew has killed 2-3 deer with it. He tries to tell me to give it to him and buy myself a new gun. Now, it does sound like a cannon, but just wear earplugs.
I have an A Bolt 300wsm with a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x50. Bought 7-8 years ago for right over $1000.00. Look around on LA Sportsman and qqclassifieds.com and also pawn shops and you could probably find a good deal on a nice 2nd hand rifle.
