The action and weight of this rifle makes this recoil manageable. The regular muzzle break makes it jump slightly less for faster follow up shots.
The M1a, recoil-wise, is a pussycat compared to just about any other higher-powered rifle. This is partly due to weight and stock configuration and the gas system. While it ain't an AR15, and will indeed kick a little bit harder than one... it is far from being a bruiser. This gun is heavy, so that helps. Add a limbsaver too. Shoot lower grain loads for more help. After that, its a little more then an AR-15 in the recoil comparison. You can pop 200 rounds and still function.
