You’ve gotten some very good answers to your question. As stated, weight of firearm, stock design and fit, type of recoil pad, and shooter position all play into the “felt recoil” of the firearm. If just some of the shooting criteria for comfortable shooting is met, you should have “zero” issues. My wife shoots a cartridge that has recoil almost 2 1/2 times that of a somewhat generic .270 Win. load of a 130 grain bullet @ 3050 fps, from a 8 1/2 pound rifle. She doesn’t “enjoy” shooting her rifle from the bench, and only shoots from the bench to verify zero. The balance of her shooting is from field positions....generally less “felt” recoil than from the bench! Summary: unless you have some form of shoulder injury, shooting the 270 Win. should be “a piece of cake”! memtb
