wild_willie Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 How's the recoil from a 270? Have a 243 no noticable recoil, thinking about a new rifle. Not really recoil sensitive, 12 GA deer gun is my usual. Just wondered about a 270 or even a 25-06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelund79 Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I like my 25.06 alot. It is very loud with little recoil. I shoot a 12ga in the shotgun zone around my house, and that has some kick, the 25.06 will have less than 1/3 of that, and the .270 slightly more...The 25.06 is a little more than your .243, but not really noticeably so, but it sure does bark!

JJL Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I had a good friend who shot a 270 several years ago and seperated his shoulder. I'd stick with the 243. I cannot help but notice that you're new here in the forums.....Welcome. We do have a few rules though; 1. Shoot the smallest gun possible. 2. Vote for O'Bama. 3. Cheer for Dale Jr. 4. Sit down in the bathroom at all times. Have a nice day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA_RIDGE_RUNNER Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I own both a 243 and a 270 and shoot a win 1300 black shadow for turkeys. Now the 12 ga 3 in mag really kicks and if you can handle 12 ga slugs you can handle a 270 because it doesn't kick near as hard as a 12 ga.

The .270 does not have much more recoil than a .243, it has way less than a 12 gauge. You should be fine with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yooperkenny Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Although not perfect, this attempts to quantitatively compare the recoil of various calibers: http://www.chuckhawks.com/recoil_table.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
