accuracy, no
recoil yes.
accuracy has little to do with the weight of the rifle and everything to do with quality of the barrel and harmonics. you can have a 14 pound rifle and it'll still shoot no better than 4 MOA if it's got a sewer pipe for a barrel and the barrel is being tweaked 3 different directions from the mounting hardware for the stock. now yes, heavier gun means lighter recoil however I've found that toting a heavy rifle does not personally bother me too much...until I'm stuck dragging an elk off a mountain side, then I find myself wondering why I didn't go with the lightest rifle I have.
