I have one of the older ones (pre-accustock), shot under 1" with handloads. Sent it to Kevin Rayhill (Stockade Stocks), had him put it in his stock and work his magic , it now shoots under 1/4" groups with 140gr Nosler Ballistic Tips. So, to answer your question great gun, great caliber and the recoil is not bad at all even without muzzle brake.
