Interestingly enough the BlR rem mag weighs a full pound (according to specs) more than a BLR in 270 wsm, or 300 wsm, so recoil with the rem mag is going to be markedly less than these other calibers with similar performance.
Less recoil means more fun in practise, and more accuracy when it counts...

Mines a blr81. Steel receiver and straight stock. Don’t care for the lightenings aluminum receiver and pistol grips. If I found a blr 81 7mm long action in good shape I might.
