.270, .308. Actually, when I shoot my 45-70 at the range I don't mind the recoil. When I am shooting at an animal, I don't even feel the recoil. People who mind or are afraid of recoil, think about it too much which in turn makes their expectations come true. If you hold you gun properly and pull it in to your shoulder, an average adult male should not be bothered by recoil of any of the 30 caliber rifles.
