I have a 35 Whelen and the recoil is not bad at all? Mine has a stock that fits me well and a decent pad. The more guns I shoot, the more I realize how much stock fit matters on rifles. I am not a big fan of recoil, and I would much rather shoot my 35 Whelen with 225g bullets, than my old Remington 721 30-06 with 150g bullets.
