Recoil is alot for the lighter BDL's but alot better for heavier sendero or pps models. As far as accuracy, depends on the gun from Remington. Every rem. i used to buy was a tack driver, but I found them hit or miss these days for all calibers. I got a 700P that is a outstanding shooter but got a 700 BDL in 270 that doesn't shoot well. Hit or miss.
