[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 263615, member: 8"] The laws of physics that pertain to recoil and brakes for guns that are not semi auto do not change with cosmetics nor with the name of the manufacturer nor can one make a leap from an XP to a rifle without performing the math. Semi autos are more complicated because you have to keep track of more moving masses and the timing of their movement. If Joel had used a four slot brake to begin with, then the rifle would have had less felt recoil. Whether that would have been acceptable to a given individual is not known; however, one can make a reasonable estimate once the individual decides if the Holland brake reduces the felt recoil to a level that is acceptable.
