I run a savage 110 in 6 ARC. Recoil is mild enough to spot most shots if the scope is not cranked up too high. It did come with a brake on it, which I'm sure makes a diffrence. So far I have just shot factory ammo in order to get brass. Haven't reloaded anything for it, but it looks like it could really be versatile. have made consistent hits on steel to 700 with it, and coyotes to about 500. Ballistically and accuracy wise it seems to be pretty legit. Have plans to build an AR chambered for it sometime, too.
