Braked Rifle Recoil Reduction - 05/10/17
Two years ago I had a work-related injury while working in Alaska and the following surgeries, metal rods, cadaver ligaments, and other fun hardware have left my with very limited wrist flexion and low grip strength in my left hand, which is fortunately my support hand.
I had to give up my arsenal of trusted pump shotguns on the water this winter, my first season back on the water, and buy a Beretta A400 with Kick-Off stock because I couldn't control and cycle my pump guns with my wimpy left hand. My X-Bolts and my lightweight hunting rifles are now a little too lively for me to shoot in several field positions (due to a combination of no flexion and low grip strength), so now I'm looking for either a ported, braked, or semiauto rifle, like a Browning BAR. My question is which of the three options, which will have the most recoil reduction?
