I am not really recoil conscious so for me to measure or notice recoil is not a problem...Well that is not correct - a 3 1/2" -12 gage turkey load get my attention!

The Mountaineer is the heavier of the two top line Knights, The Ultra-Lite is the light one. The Mountaineer weighs in at 7+ lbs.

The other thing I am using a thumbhole stock which I believe also helps reduce felt recoil. So, again for myself not a problem.
