my brother in law owns the marlin 1895(I think SBL is the specific model). I've shot it several times. the recoil is about like a stiff 30-06 with the high velocity heavy bullet stuff but he messes with loads so much that I've fired what felt like everything from a mild pistol cal carbine to heavy shoulder fired cannon, very tough action to say the least. his is a newer post cerberus rifle and I see no difference in the fit and finish and my pre cerberus marlin 1894 in 44 mag. the thing gets heavy as heck fully loaded but it's an amazing little brush gun in the right configuration. he killed a decent cow elk with it a couple months back.
a lot of people say to stay away from cerberus made rifles but I would buy one like his in a heart beat if I could get it all black.
