All else being equal, no
A strait stock will recoil strait back but when a bent stock recoils it will recoil with the muzzle going upwards. A strait stock allows you to stay on target better.
try replacing the but pad with a limbsaver and/or change the stock to a heaver one
The recoil of a .300 Winchester Short Magnum (WSM) can vary depending on the specific rifle and ammunition used, but it typically ranges from about 20 to 25 foot-pounds. This level of recoil is considered moderate to heavy, making it manageable for experienced shooters but potentially challenging for beginners. Factors such as rifle weight, stock design, and recoil pads can also influence the felt recoil.
It is used to hold the gun. In the case of a rifle or shotgun, it helps conntrol recoil by transferring much of the push of firing to the body.
A sniper rifle usually has quite a bit of recoil suppression built into the stock, so no it should not hurt your shoulder.
Stock and trigger are two that come to mind.
No. A crossbow is more like a bow mounted onto a stock with a trigger for firing. The stock is the only similarity to an actual rifle. Even the largest variation of a crossbow, the ballista, doesn't have any form of recoil. The force of the release of the string is apparent but negligible even in a large ballista.I am an historic re-enactor and have used both crossbow and ballista.
your DON'T relax the shoulder. the butt stock is held close (tight) to the shoulder. In this manner there is less (pain) recoil to the shoulder.
Recoil of a firearm is based on how heavy and fast is the bullet, and how much does the firearm weigh. Change any one of the 3, and recoil will change. The AVERAGE .270 Winchester (16.5 lbs recoil) will have less recoil than a 30-06 (17.6 lbs recoil) but more than a .308 Winchester ( 15.8 lbs recoil). How recoil FEELS can be affected by several things, including shape of the stock, recoil control devices (such as pads) which spread recoil over time, etc. Good article for some more reading for you-http:/wwwzperiodzchuckhawkszperiodzcom/recoil_tablezperiodzhtm
Usually we just write it as 30-06. The felt recoil will depend on the weight of the rifle, stock shape, and loading of the cartridge. It has significant recoil, but not crushing. It was used as the standard military rifle cartridge of the US from 1906 until 1959, so was used by hundreds of thousands of shooters. To me, it is similar to the recoil of a 20 g shotgun with a hot loaded shell. It is more than a 30-30, less than 7mm Magnum.
The weight does.
