I've only fired one, my buddy's guide gun.

We were shooting our slug guns at our range and he pulled it out and we all took a turn with it.

I didn't think the recoil was as much as a 12 guage slug, and I think a 12 guage slug would be comparable to a .30-06. A 3" slug is considerably more.

If your comfortable with a .30-06 you'll have no trouble at all with it. If I remember right, the recoil pad was about as good as a piece of tire fastened to the stock. A better one would help.
