I shot mine in standard form for a number of years before being re-stocked. No problems recoil wise.
They don't recoil as much as you think, about like a good heavy shotgun load.
The barrel I used was a Pac-Nor number 8 profile, it ended up exactly 1" at the muzzle. It balances on the front of the action. No need for any recoil reducers unless you are particularly recoil sensitive.
