rest the Encore 270 Win. handgun against your right cheek, with the butt against your shoulder, with your eyes right on top of the grips looking over the barrel and sights, and fire a few shots, then you'll know what this 270 rifle is like.

remove your earmuffs and fire a shot like that, that would simulate hunting deer with this 270

a blast indeed- pun intended !

I'm right curious about the stock fit on these "hard kicking" .270 WIN rifles, and whether they have scopes on them.

I have a Remmy 721 in .270WIN ...... a 1950's gun with a stock that has a lot of drop, such that to see through the scope put on in the 1980's, one had to break "cheek weld" to get a proper sight picture. Recoil with my deer loads (58gr IMR 7828 under a 150gr SGK for about 2900 f/sec) was pretty uncomfortable until I put a neoprene comb raising kit on it to keep my face in contact with the rifle during recoil, rather then having my neck pulling it back and down into the stock as the rifle moves rearward.

A good sitting position with a properly used M-1907 sling helps as well, IMO.

The excellent recoil pad that came with my 700 Ti in 7mm08 makes it quite tolerable at the benchrest. 6.5 pounds with sling, ammo and scope.

Offhand? The stock is an excellent fit for my body. Zero problem with recoil and no complaint from my arthritic shoulder.
