[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 1062552, member: 4809"] How a rifle reacts with recoil is dependent on a number of different factors. A big factor is the design of the stock itself. Benchrest and tactical stock designes have high combs and are designed to allow the stock to come straight back. Weight increase subdues recoil. That is why hunting rifles will often allow for more muzzle climb than heavier rifles. Rifle balance can also have a pronounced impact. A thin, short, pencil barrel will climb much more in the same rifle than a bull barrel contour. Obviously, the more powder and the heavier bullet used by the shooter will further intensify the natural direction of recoil in the rifle. Try shooting a 12 ga. rifled slug out of a smoothbore shotgun barrel sometime. You should notice a slight torque counterclockwise in your hand. Each style of rifle will exhibit subtle differences in recoil, even when shooting the same load out of different rifles. [/QUOTE]
