.308win vs .270win

[Crawdaddy]

Yeah and his opinion doesn't make much sense. Unless he had a 4 pound 270. You can't change the laws of physics.

Anyone that posts a 270 Win kicks MORE than a magnum or ultra magnum must not be compairing like rifles. As said in the last post energy out the front is countered by recoil toward the back. Most magnums recoil 25-50 percent more than the standard calibers of 270 Win, 308 Win, or 30-06. Smart guys in the Club will post the actual figures. I bet the 270 Win he shot was very light and the magnums were all very heavy.

Compare 30-06 rem pump 760 to my rem 700 mountain rifle in 270, 270 is pretty steep/sharp in recoil. So many things like weight, stock configuration, barrel length ect contribute to felt recoil, however, all things being exactly equal, 270 win will be less recoil.

I own a Stevens 200 in .243 it is just as accurate w/hand loads all I use as my $1,200 Rem 700. Great no frills gun for the money cant go wrong with Savage/Stevens. As for the .308 and .270 I own both and can pull just as accurate shots with either. I love the .270 it drops White Tail, Mule Deer, Bear, Caribou, Elk and Pigs w/one well placed shot. I use my .270 99.5% of the time and I own several rifles from .17HRM to 300 Win Mag.

Winchester M70 7mm rem mag. Will fly straight and accurate @ the range your needing and beyond. The kick is nice and smooth!

Can I use same action and just change out barrel?
