[QUOTE="RBetts, post: 366334, member: 22077"] Look at the point blank bench rest barrel It is short and fat. This mass creates stiffness and has more area to absorb/dissipate vibration. Also by adding mass you reduce the amount of total felt recoil as well as delay the effect due to momentum. From the time the sear breaks till the bullet is out of the barrel vibrations start to resonate. If they are not the same accuracy suffers dramatically. Savage had a video from start to finish that showed visible movement in a gunstock. I cannot seem to find it though. Recoil that you feel at the shoulder is the result of the expanding gasses running into a flat wall at the end of the barrel. Muzzle brakes, porting all allow those gasses to vent/divertto the sides, those expanding gasses to slow the pulse felt. Meaning if you have 50% of the expanding gasses diverted you have 50% less gas being stopped at the muzzle so what you feel would be roughly 50% less Now if you take a purpose built brake like those available here from Kirby and Darrell Holland to name 2 These are designed to capture that expanding gas and use that energy to actually pull the rifle forward further reducing the recoil pulse. The rifle and cartridge still recoils at the same level just not back at the shooter. One of those laws you cannot avoid. For every action there is an equal and oppossite reaction [/QUOTE]
