Nope, better pull out your recoil calculator, shooting the same weight of bullet with max loads for each you will find the 06 is on average 80-90fps faster and burning about 10-12gr more powder, that...

The old Mosin kicked alot harder then my current 30-06, but of course my 06 has a nice recoil pad that probably makes all the difference in the world.

The 270 Win is a huge step up from the 6.8 SPC in terms of power, they may share the same bore size but that is the only thing they have in common.

I have a love hate relationship with the 30-06, it is one of my all time favorites to reload and shoot, but mine likes faster moving loads that blow these smallish deer to bits so I never bring it...

I need to get a new 22, I gave my 552 Speedmaster to a really good friend of mine who loved that gun way more then I ever did. Probably go with a bolt action next time.

With handloads the 280 is the most ballisticly advanced of the three and of the 06 offspring only the 6.5-06 wildcat is superior in terms of long ranged trajectory/drift. In terms of factory ammo...

Yeah the Axis is bottom of the barrel (still a decent cheap rifle though), any of the 110 actions are a big step up. While Savages are not normally super pretty guns the 14 and 114 models are really...

A friend of mine has one, he does not like it, he says it is way too complex to program, and he is a real tech savvy guy.
