I have a Remington 700 Classic in 270, not a real lightweight rifle, but not a heavy one either. Shooting 130 grain bullets with 60 grains of H-4831, I'd be lying if I said I didn't start to notice the recoil after a few shots. It's not bothersome, but I have arthritis in my shoulders, and it is noticeable. I have a Howa 6.5 Creedmoor, a little heavier rifle than the Remington, but not by much. The Howa is much more pleasant to shoot, practically recoil free. It will also kill a deer just as dead as the 270 will.
