Well, I bought it almost 2 weeks ago and finally got to take it out today. It doesnt recoil too bad at all. It ended up being fairly accurate. About 1 MOA with factory ammo. The federal 150 grain loads chrono'd at 3100 on the money. The package said 3200, but I am not upset with that. It will probably only digest my reloads from now on. Two thumbs up from me! EJ
