I have been shooting one for about a month now. It arrived from my dealer along with a Krieghoff DR in the same caliber, 450/400 3" regulated for the Hornady loads. My son and I are trading off and I got a good deal buying both together.

I do not find recoil excessive, firm, but not the 'wack' one gets with more high pressure loadings in the Ruger. The Kriege DR handles the round very nicely and is a very comfortable shooter. The regulation is spot on.
