Yeah well, like I said before I personally could never tell the difference in like rifles. About all I could tell is that both kicked alot less than my 12 gauge Ithaca 37 Deerslayer with slugs and more than my .243. The 270, .308 and .30-06 all feel about the same to me. Guess I just ain't sensitive enough.
