I had a 7mag, liked it very much. Great for clearcuts and field hunting. Most deer dropped in their tracks. Barrel is a little lengthy for hardwoods.
I recently started shooting a 7mm-08. Less recoil,cheaper ammo shorter barrel. Check out the ballistics of this round vs 270. Greater velosity and more down range energy. This is based on a 140 gr 7-08 vs 150 gr 270. Only down fall of this round is that you can't shoot larger bullets. But great round for deer.

all this talk about recoil really depends on what make and model rifle you have

one of the worst kicking guns i ever shot was a 270 which was a ruger that had that stupid looking plastic stock on it

i had a weatherby in the 7 mag that had almost no recoil

i have a ruger 338 that i can shoot a box of shells and just be a little sore the next day

and my dad had a rem bdl in 30-06 that you could NOT shoot more than 3 or 4 rounds before you started to tear up ( he sold it almost as fast as he bought it )

just saying that it depends IMO so just shoot what you feel comfortable with

I love both the 270 and 7mm but i would take my 280 over either any day...Flattest shooting,no recoil hardly, and can shoot a tick off a deers but at 200yds!!!

A"little sore the next day can cause a flinch the "next shot"..because the body remembers that pain.
As for "stupid looking plastic stocks"......they perform very well and dont dent scratch or warp like wood.
I have owned both types but at the point of impact and death i never remember the thought rushing thru my head....Man i killed it dead with a stupid plastic stock.............
just saying...... $;\)$

typical of the "machoism" of many magnum shooters.
