Your gona love the Cmooe cartridge. Recoil is nothin trust me. My Cmoor is a 26" bbl. on a 700Rem. action and a wood stock ADL that came with the doner rifle, that was in .308. The butt plate is the old style Rem.4 screw plastic. I shoot it in short sleve T-shirt no problem. If I guess to compare it to something maybe like a 30/30. I have a .300RUM with a break a Mag/Na/Port screw off and it dose help for bench time. A break on a Cmoor seems alittle nuts IMO, but to each his own, good shootin....later
