a full power 8x57 out of that 16 or 17'' barrel must hurt!

Wouldn't recoil be less?
IME, a shortened barrel has more muzzle blast and more recoil because it's shorter and lighter. Even though muzzle energy is lower, recoil is higher. ][/QUOTE]
I agree even though you'd lose velocity, the recoil may be a bit more due to a lighter rifle. I don't think factory 8mm Mauser loadings are going to be much in the recoil dept. however.
