    If you are going to bomb off a lot of rounds in one go, try using the other shoulder to take some of the shit...a .270 is the worst shoulder fucking round there is.
    I have had a .270 and it wouldn't shoot the ranges (hunting) I wanted so had a magnum built, I couldn't believe it has less recoil than that .270
    What I use to take some of the recoil out when having a bomb up is a piece of that dense foam from a sleeping mat...works a treat...and double ear protection, as mentioned above, of ear plugs and muffs.
    Most recoil from a .270 is in the noise it makes...before going down the suppressor trail, try the above.
    The sales guy reckons you can get a longer range from a 270 than the 308, is there any truth in that?

    A .270 will beat the arse off a .308 any day of the week.
    Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.

    I that's the case, how come there is so much negative comments about the 270 being a bad long range rifle?

    Because the .270 is not a long range rifle...beyond medium, but falls short as far as long range goes.
    Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.
