I had a CLR in 7RM for awhile that Melvin upgraded. Recoil was a non-issue with his NULA stock(and I'm kind of wimply). I have shot an ULA 30-06 with 165 grain bullets and a max load of IMR 4350 and its not bad.
I have a 5lb NULA 260. Obviously not a hard kicking cartridge but in such a light rifle it jumps up pretty quickly on the bench. Non issue in the field. I agree that the stock seems to nicely distribute the felt recoil. Melvin told me the wider butt section helps this. I recently sold a 280ai in a manners stock. Only thing did not like about the stock was the relatively thin area of the butt.
