RE: 30-06 recoil
i think at the range you could feel the difference, but when you got the crosshairs on your animal you are about to shoot and the adrenalin is going, you wont feel any difference, they will both feel like a .22LR.
at least for me anyways, i dont even feel the recoil when i am shooting a moose,deer or whatever, im am juat too excited. i shoot a 30-06.
