[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 141777, member: 704"] It's all physics from the velocity and weight of the recoil to the direction of recoil dependent on the platform as he mentions in the video. I can't see .001 inch lift with my eyes, but that is one inch high at 100 yards. I noticed his recoil on the wood was between the support beams. Hard, but forgiving surface. To get no lift the stock would have to be in perfect line with the bore. If the stock was higher than the bore there would be downward forces exerted, it the butt of the stock is lower there are upward forces exerted in direct proportion. There is no getting around the laws of physics. Some very good shooters get there through experience, but don't understand the physics. I remember when the old Remington model 788 come out. It was intended to be an economic rifle, but it turned out to be the most accurate rifle out of the box at the time. People still search out model 788's. No one understood why until a schooting buff who was also a scientist explained it. The barrel was stiffer resulting in the harmonics producing less barrel whip. Also, the stiff fireing pin spring resulted in faster lock time. Much the same reason I have a titanium fireing pin in my model 1911. It's all physics. If you have an adjustable butt plate on your rifle shoot a group with it adjusted all the way up, and another group with it adjusted all the way down. Your group will be noticeably larger with your but plate adjusted down. You can not defy the laws of physics. [/QUOTE]
