Bob, recoil is mild Sir. This rifle setup is heavy at a Weight of 9 lbs and the SilencerCo Saker Trifecta muzzle brake is effective. Cheers!

Bob, I don't know what the community says about mild recoil. This is a .308 round in a very light rifle. The weight is in bi-pod and optic. I have seen experienced shooters get scope bite on this rifle. Bad shoulder and the 308 round do not mix. Some reviews say it has a mild recoil. When I shoot the 308 Patriot it is still a 308.

It’s a heavy rifle so recoil is manageable.
