There is no doubt about it. Some Synthetic stocks definitely kick less than wood in comparably weighted rifles.

The design of some synthetic stocks allow them to give slightly when under stress therefore, acting much like a recoil pad. Wood doesn't give in the same manner which, results in more felt recoil in similar weights of the same cal.

Good Luck!

Once again I am compelled to call BS. This is purley speculation. There are formulas for figuring recoil and stocks that are squishier than others are not part of the equation.

Of corse there are things like the drop of the comb which indeed do alter the felt recoil of a rifle, but if a synthetic stock is supposed to be less painfull than a wood one for some reason then I would like to hear why.

Im thinking that this unexplainable phenomena may be like the kid who gets a new set of spark plugs in his dodge dart and figures it gained about 50 horsepower.

Just the facts please..
