I have the M95M Mauser version, and it kicks like a hot 308 load. I'm not too keen on it with the straight pull because you are relying on a sear from the trigger to hold the bolt shut when you fire it. Over time that sear will wear out and you will have a face full of bolt. Ouch. Mine is missing the metal box on the inside and the enblocs from the m95 just don't quite do the job.
The m95 is fun, but with parts being scarce, even on numrich, the rifle isn't worth $20 unless you do buy 3 at a time.
