Well, it appears that I was worrying about nothing. If Dan,s 120 pound daughter can handle the 270's recoil then my 6'1" 210 pound frame should handle it just fine.
I am hoping to acquire a new rifle at the big gun show in my town for the year, this weekend. I am interested in either an old Sako or a pre-64 Winchester Model 70. Dan and Skeet both mentioned having pre- 64 Model 70s. What do you guys think about the old Sakos and pre-64 Winchesters?
Thanks to all of you for your input. It was unanamous, so I will be looking for a 270 this weekend and hope to be bragging about acquiring one on this forum next week.
