Just got back from shooting the 9.3x62 for the first time. The recoil was pretty stout, especially with the 286gr loads and they were only doing 2227 fps. Still the rifle only weighs 7.5lbs and has no recoil pad. I ran the numbers through a recoil calculator and it came up with 31 ft/lbs of recoil. That is about the same as my 9.5lb 7RUM shooting 180gr at 3200 fps. But that has a limbsaver and a muzzle brake.
I think I will get a slip on recoil pad for it, for when I practice with it.
