Why does a heavy rifle not kick as strongly as a light rifle using the same cartridges?
A heavy rifle does not kick as strongly as a light rifle because its greater mass helps absorb and dissipate the recoil energy generated when a round is fired. The increased weight reduces the acceleration experienced by the shooter, leading to a softer perceived recoil. Additionally, the heavier rifle's design often allows for better stabilization during firing, further mitigating the effects of recoil compared to a lighter rifle using the same cartridges.
Does a light rifle 'kick' more strongly than a heavy one?
ALL other things being equal (caliber, type of action, etc) a lighter rifle will have more recoil (kick) than a heavier one. It is a matter of action and reaction. I have a heavy (11 lbs) benchrest target rifle in .308- it is a pleasure to shoot. I have another .308- a lightweight hunting rifle (6lbs). With the same cartridge, it will put tears in your eyes!
