I've shot several hundred rounds through an M107 (mostly prone and mounted in a turret, but some standing/kneeling) and truthfully the "kick" isn't that bad. The weight, recoil system, and muzzle brake all do a great job at keeping it tame. I would say my Kimber Montana 300WSM hurts way more to shoot. It has more of a push than a kick, the muzzle doesn't rise, and the weight keeps it pretty stable, so as long as you have the strength to hold it up, it's pretty stable to shoot standing. I have repeatedly hit a 300m pop-up target standing.

Now I say the recoil isn't bad, but the concussion is ridiculous. The sound and shockwave that thing puts out punish your insides. And whatever you do, don't stand beside someone else shooting it, or you will feel the brunt of the muzzle brake pressure.
