[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 707367, member: 48043"] Gun sights on a manure spreader comes to mind here. Not that I have a severe aversion to brakes; one of my best rifles has a brake on it, but it is a 300win. As others have said stepping down in caliber or using a different stock or recoil pad will have more difference here in most cases. A 257 roberts or 260 would be a great gun with about the same recoil as a braked 270 and it won't split your ears with hearing protection on. You can also load it down a bit for less recoil. As to weight, my 10 year old son was shooting my a-bolt 270 last summer off the bench weighing 8# scoped with lighter loads. I don't think he would have liked toting that across the prarie though. He'll shoot my 270 and 44, but he won't shoot my ar 5.56 nato. [/QUOTE]
