In comparison I'm 5'7" bout 155lbs and manage to shoot my .340 wby with accuracy. There are always good recoil pads you can buy now that work good for reducing recoil. I wouldn't suggest a muzzle brake but it would be an option. On the range you feel it but in the field I never feel the kick when there's an elk in the sights.

A 3x9x40 would be the perfect fit for this gun, buy the best scope you can afford. I would recommendmid-range price scopes in the $200-$300. Nikon,burris, leupold are just a few. Don't forgetgood steelbases and rings. You don't want yourPOI(point of impact) to move.
