Reran it and got 19 vs 23 ftlbs so the SAUM has 4 lbs more recoil. In the end, what’s hilarious is the idea that 23 ftlbs of recoil is unpleasant. For my 6 year old...maybe.

In seeing hundreds of hunters come through hunting camp, I'd venture to say well over 50% of the guys shooting guns that generated much over 20 ft lbs of recoil couldn't handle the recoil, many making poor shots.
I've always been well above average. I guess a 7lb 270 Win with a punishing 21.2 lbs of recoil is just too much to handle for most of your crew. Fortunately, the bottom 50% isn't the likely customer for this rifle.

Once again, back to OT, a 280 AI Fieldcraft would be the epitome of performance in the current envelope.
Action: Done Barrels: Already in production Stock: Done. Pick a paint color if you'd like.
Order the reamer and here we go. Then again, the crushing recoil of the cartridge may be too much for some.
