Well folks, I went out and put some rounds through them both today, surprisingly there wasn't a lot of difference in recoil between the two of them.
The heavier Tropical soaked up the 270 and 300gr Federal factory loads nicely. It definately kicks, but it's a big thump rather than a sharp jab.
The 45-70 had a little less push, but a little more muzzle climb probably due to being 2" shorter and 2lb lighter. I was shooting 350gr FN @1900 FPS.
A good fun day was had!
Now to hunt up a Leupold 1-4x20 for the 375.....
Cheers, Scott.
