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

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!

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.
