i'd agree completely. Make sure the stock fits and is the right design. (Sabi Rifles offered me a choice and then made recommendations) I also have a mercury tube arrestor in mine and whilst it's not a pussy cat to shoot, I don't notice the recoil.....

I think it's impossible to compare recoil by calibre as so much depends on rifle weight, individual shooters physical build, recoil tolerance and the other factors mentioned above....

Don't know if it'll help, but here's a couple of pictures of my one to show you the stock design.....
