RE: Question with the .270
I spent a better part of a year deciding on the caliber of my rifle two years ago. I'm not a big guy 5' 10" 180 lbs and I find the recoil very manageable. After considering recoil, accuracy, makes, budget and cost of ammo, I chose a Browning A-Bolt Composite Stalker .270 Win. Not sorry I did. Shooting Hornady 130gr. SST's, Punching 1/2" groups at 100 yards. The first season in use netted me a huge doe at about 100 yards and a last day buck downed at 250 on a dead run. Season two took a decent 6x6 at 360 yards. All one shot kills. So don't have any doubts, this calibre is great.
