My experience of one 760 (which makes me an expert) in 30-06 found it to be pretty accurate-1-1.5 inch groups at 100 off the bench were no problem. The recoil with the original buttplate was pretty stout-much more than any other 30-06 I had experienced then. Dad agreed and it got a Pachmayr right quick. Still gets your attention but a neat rifle anyway that would be handy to carry. One of these years, I'm going to have to have a 760 synthetic stocked, rebarreled to 9.3x62, with the big magazine, tritium front sight, flip up barrel sight, QD rings with a good scope, and a BUIS receiver sight. Sounds plenty bad azz, to me!  Swap that synthetic stock out for a collapsible and add a Picatinny rail under the barrel for your light and you will have something that puts that Mossberg Tactical Lever Action everyone wants to shame!  JSH, I've always heard the 760's kick pretty hard. I was actually quite surprised that the one I have isn't too bad. Maybe not even as bad as my fwt 30-06..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

The more recent rifles have quite a bit less drop at the heel than the early rifles that were stocked for shooting open sights. Those with the monte carlo style stocks seem to distribute recoil quite well, or at least the injection molded stock on my 270 does.

I'm thinking this one with its lefty cheek piece helps with fit. The LOP is still a little too short for me, but with hunting coat and probably backpack strap in the way, it should work pretty good. I contemplated putting a pachmayr decelerator on mine to lengthen it a bit, but probably won't do that anytime soon. Unless I plan on shooting it a lot with a t-shirt on I think I'll just leave it as is for now...

The hard plate and LOP is nice if you take heavier clothing (quite prevalent in our neck of the woods) and backpack strap into account.
It's slickery in shouldering that way. I still prefer a longer LOP so mine wear decelerators.
