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?
