Default 30-06 recoil

I currently have a rifle in.270win and am considering purchasing a rifle in 30-06 Springfield.
My question is if there is much recoil difference between the two.

Thanks,
Copperdog

On paper yes, in the real world, no.

I actually think there is a lot of difference. To mea 30-06 kicks A LOT more then a .270. I think probably about the same as my 7mm Rem Mag.

In My Opinon, those two calibers are way too similar, I think you should get a 7mm Rem. Mag. instead of a 30-06.

The total weight of the gun/scope and stock style have a lots of impact on "felt recoil!" A light rifle and lighter cartridge combo can feel as hard as a larger gun/cal. combo!

I've shot both, and in the guns I've fired, no.

Not really, just depends on the weight and type of powder charge used in the cartrige. Try firing simple soft points then move up to like an Accubond and you will see what I mean.

About 17.5 lbs for the 270 and about 20 lb for the 30-06.

JB, if all things are equal (including bullet weight) a 2.5 lb. differential should not be very noticeable. A lighter weight .270 may have more felt recoil than a heavier '06.
I really can't feel much difference between my lightweight .308 compared to my heavier 7MM RM.
