I have all three also, The 257 Roberts kicks significantly less.

If you want someones opinion that matters, read Mr. Barsness article called the "Bob Revisited" from a couple years back. He talks about trying to find a rifle for his wife. She tried all three and the 257 roberts kicked noticibly less.

The best part of hunting and fishing was the thinking about going and the talking about it after you got back. - Robert Ruark
