For a particular cartridge and barrel length recoil should remain constant. The weight of a gun may make the perceived or felt recoil slightly less. This is what I am always told and in my experience seems to hold true. However, many forums are stating that a Beretta O/U 12ga tends to recoil much harder than competitive brands. This may be due to lightweight models from Beretta. But, Beretta LW should have same recoil as a Browning LW. Is it possible there is something in the geometry of Beretta? Is this just an internet rumor gone viral?
I have shot 30-06 in Ruger American and Remington 700. I would rate the recoil identical with a slight edge going to the Ruger. Likely because the ruger plastic stock is lighter than the Remington
I ask because I bought a Beretta Onyx sight unseen. I have always admired the Beretta OU and love my A300 Xtrema so I assume that I will have a similar love of the Onyx. Anyone have an experience with different guns in the same cartridge that behave much different?
