I have a 12 in. with factory brake.It carries a Bushnell pro hunter red dot sight. Works very well on deer with a 300 gr Hor. or Sierra
bullet with Trap Door loads.Recoil is stout when benched but not as bad off sticks or offhand. It is not a fun gun for me to shoot long strings of fire with. I shoot a few then lay it aside and shoot something else for a while.
