I’ve only shot Winchester superX 150 PP bullets through it so far. Not bad at all, but that’s subjective. I find 150grain charges in a muzzleloader unpleasant after several shots. My 45-70s thump pretty good but manageable for a box or two. I never minded shooting my .300WM for a box or so.what's the recoil like on those guns? Especially in that 270.
the only 270 that I've shot was snappy. A lot more snappy than my 06, but not as snappy as my 7mag.I’ve only shot Winchester superX 150 PP bullets through it so far.

I was shooting a M70 7mm-08 today as well. They were comparable. The Ruger was a little snappier, but not any harder. It just felt like a quicker recoil through the scope.
Iff’in ya do, the scope issue is a real thing. I just fretted over it enough before hand that it turned out that I got the right scope. If you just toss any scope on it, you may have to turtle neck way forward to get a sight picture. My scope has a long rear end decent eye relief.I'm going to say this:
If you all keep posting these No. 1's, I'm going to end up having to buy one to cure the itch.

I had a plan B incase. An ugly plan B, but a plan B.Ruger makes offset rings if need be.
I’ve found that the Leupold 6x42mm fixed power USUALLY doesn’t require the offset rings.
I’ve got a Leupold VariX iii 1.75-6x32 on one that didn’t require the use of the offset ring either.
In any event, that’s a fine looking setup @7mm-08
I prefer the Ruger…lolI had a plan B incase. An ugly plan B, but a plan B.
I recommend a .45/70!!!I’d be interested I having one with the sights and a couple inches shorter barrel.
I could bring out the 54 cal sharps!Might have to start a “ Singleshot Challange” this year?
I was looking at a Chiappa .45LC Spencer at a shop the other day.I could bring out the 54 cal sharps!
I'm in. My 357 Rem Max needs to eat. Not as pretty as a No 1 but it'll do.Might have to start a “ Singleshot Challange” this year?
