You won't notice the recoil when something is charging.

A Steyr Mannlicher carbine - mountain rifle. Top of the line in accuracy and handling.

I like the Model 70 in 300 WSM. Shoots great with little recoil and plenty of punch.

I LOVE my left handed Tikka T3 stainless lightweight in 308. Amazingly accurate and handles like a dream. Can't rave about it enough.

My gut was go with the Ruger: it looks like several voted that way. But the guy with the CZ in 9.3x62 looks like the winner to me after reading this far down the list. But as you've already bought one and as I feel like the junior member here: I'll just point out that I've never had a problem with my 1895 though my 1894 .357 has had probs.
