[QUOTE="grit, post: 145299, member: 4112"] I think you need to address the unpleasant recoil of your 270, and get a 243. I have both. Love them both. I fit my 270 with a Boyds thumbhole stock (laminated and heavy). The stock added a lot of weight. It is very pleasant to shoot now. Fourty rounds is no problem. If I didn't want to add the weight, I would absolutely put a brake on anything that made me flinch. Cheap investment to turn a rifle that makes you cringe into one you look forward to shooting. You may also want try limiting your number of shots so you stop shooting before you start flinching. Also, if you've already developed a flinch I would do a lot of dry firing. This will help tremendously to break the habit. Still, the 243 kicks less. And, burns less powder, shoots cheaper bullets, makes a great coyote gun........ Maybe I'll put a matching stock on the 243. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
