  • Patent number: 8516730
    Abstract: A rifle recoil reduction system is presented for reducing a recoil impact of a rifle. The system includes two parallel spaced-apart spring operated piston assemblies mounted between two spaced-apart plates, separated in part to work simultaneously together to provide an equal amount of pressure to the pistons. The pistons preferably have a pre-load of about 250 kg (550 pounds), and can be changed to increase or decrease the pre-load. A recoil pad is included to provide additional relief to the shooter.
