Dandyofpunjab,
I have no 16 ga. Charlin, only 12 gauge, and one 12 ga. converted, using W.Ellis Brown methods, to double rifle. I don't believe that recoil has anything to do with one particular maker of gun/rifle, but has to do with gun weight, gun fit--stock dimensions/shape, bullet weight/charge, etc. so it isn't correct to say that a particular make recoils more or less, for it has to do more with the aforementioned than make of gun/rifle.
