I have one, but haven't shot it much. I was able to pick one up for $60 and couldn't pass it up.
The times I've shot it, I don't remember the recoil being very bad. But I never used more than 80 grains of powder, so that may be the reason.
In the limited shooting I did, I was not able to get good accuracy with sabots. But I did not try PRB or conicals. I would say if it is a really good deal, it is worth picking up to play around with. Other than the cheap plastic stock, it seems to be fairly well made.
