I can understand the recoil issue, some people are more sensitive to it than others especially the woman and kids, but there's two sides to that coin also if you use a heavy rifle to absorb the recoil the you have to lug a heavy rifle around. Recoil does not bother me but I noticed the difference with my new Endeavor it really absorbs the recoil like a 12 pound rifle and only weights about 7.5. If you have a recoil problem the Bone Collector might be a good choice. Is the Accura the one they copied off the Triumph? Lee
