[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1772222, member: 75451"] Culling, If “eighteen” ft/lbs. recoil was painful to your friend.....he should stick with a “Red Ryder”! Seriously, if the rifle(a 270 Win.) has unpleasant recoil, there could be several reasons. If someone shortened the stock and gave the “butt” the wrong angle/pitch. Also, a hard butt pad can make felt recoil appear greater than it really is. Simply incorrect shooting position can make “felt recoil” feel greater! You should spend time with your friend helping him or her to get comfortable with recoil! Perhaps starting them out with a 22 RF, and help him/her develop proper shooting technique! Then as they progress, move up to slightly higher recoil firearms. memtb [/QUOTE]
