I'm ready to quit after about 30 rounds with the 195 gr loads. My sporter stock doesn't have a recoil pad though. I've shot rifles that kicked quite a bit harder, but not for more than a few rounds.
I'm not too proud to say that the 8x57 with full house loads is near the top of my comfortable recoil tolerance.
Every shooter has their limit whether their willing to admit it or not
