[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2012219, member: 63925"] OK, the average recoil on a .270 or even comparable 30-06 is around 20 ftlbs. You are shooting a high power rifle not a Daisy Red Ryder! If you take a 8.75 total weight rifle (rifle, scope, rings, bases and fully loaded in magazine) for a .270Win, 30-06 and 300WM and look at recoil, the .270 and 30-06 are virtually the same when comparing a 150 gr for the .270WIn to 165 gr for the 30-06 at about 21 ftlbs. The 300 WM with 200 gr comes in at 31+ ftlbs. Even if you skinny down the rifle weight, the recoil is not much different since it only goes up to 22 ftlbs. Seriously, are folks thinking 21ftlbs of recoil is horrible? Once you break 30 ftlbs on recoil , yes, there is a huge difference in energy impact. If you are shooting a titanium then of course the recoil is gong to be higher. BUT you knew that going in! [/QUOTE]
