Vlad,

For every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. Therefore the heavier the rifle the less recoil is felt, however that particular method sounds a bit too basic for my tastes. I would personally prefer to fit a mercury or tungsten bead recoil arrestor into the stock.

I had a mercury tube fitted into the stock of my .500 Jeffrey and it made a huge difference to the recoil. James Nixon III who posts here as NONE has 2 or 3 fitted into his 458 Lott and he shoots it single handed.......and extremely well !!

Hopefully some of the gunsmiths who post here might be able to give you a more informed opinion.
