I had one in a 760 in a .257 Roberts and that was a neat little rifle and the first time I shot it, I wondered where the recoil went? Mine shot well but it rattled in the slide, so it went on the used rack. We had a guy with a 760 in deer camp that had an '06 and it kicked more than he liked. I suppose that a .308 would be better, but not much. There was a thread running a while back about what cartridge the guys thought recoiled more than they expected and surprisingly the .308 got mentioned a whole lot of times.
Actually, all the .308’s in pumps I’ve had seemed to recoil more than my 06’s. Its a snappier recoil o don’t care for in that gun. Strange but that’s how it went for me. They seem to be fine out of a bolt.
