How exactly does the LBs affect the gun? Does higher LBs = lower recoil? Does higher LBs increase the risk of faluire to feeds or faluire to eject?

My question as well. Saw a youtube video with a different company and he stated it had more snap with the lighter spring but was able to set his follow up shot quicker. The heavier spring took longer to set up the next shot because the gun traveled slower in the recoil. My question still remains if there will be stove piping if I use lighter grade ammo with the heavier spring.

Jim, I mounted this scope on my .300 BLK and I have about 1,000 round through it and it hasn't moved. I sighted it in the day I got it and haven't adjusted it since and it's always been dead on. I know .308 is a little more recoil but I think you should be fine with it. I've tested this scope pretty thoroughly. Good luck, hope you get it.

I carry mine daily. No,in my opinion the trigger pull poundage is reduced by about 3lbs. Still leaving it over 5lbs. The big difference is in the smoothness of the pull. The trigger take up distance is still adequate in my opinion.

No idea if it will or not, question is why you would put one on it and add to the length of pull?If you have a medical issue that makes you worry about the recoil of the "mighty" 12G go with a 20 or a .410, if not man the hell up and learn to operate the 12G's recoil.

I shot 22 LR and they slightly bulged the target plates. AK 47 is much more powerful than a 22 and it will damage the target plates.

I shoot a 180 lb without any issues. I really wasnt aware of a limit on these or the carbon for that matter. My buddy shoots a 195 lb. and used my extras a couple weeks ago also no issues. Everything I have seen from Wicked Ridge (even on their site) has no max poundage listed. Sorry I couldnt be more help :-(

Depends on a lot of variables. Your load, caliber and how your want the gun to recoil and cycle.

I do not know- However, I can tell you I have removed this from my Benelli M4 and will not be placing the device back on my gun. The device squeezes the magazine tube and causing the follower and shells to stop in the magazine at the mount site. This causes feeding malfunctions.

The largest caliber rifle I have used this on is a 7.62x39 AK47. No problem with recoil on that rifle.

Amy, The lighter the BB the faster it will shoot however I would use what the manufacturer recommends. Something too heavy or too light may cause damage

It has no effect on recoil and barely any on flash. It reduces muzzle climb and sway.

I agree with the other gentlemen. The heavier the recoil the more something negative can and will happen, (Murphy's Law) just when you need your A-game going for you. However, with all that's been said, give it a try and keep us all posted. I wish you luck!

I think it is spring action. Usually,air gun when shooting the spring creates recoils and vibrations. And P17 produces less recoils.

I haven't tried anything less than 3 pound pull. consider it like a scale that has a marker that marks the maximum effort for the trigger to trip. usualy do best out of 3 in case of operator error. sometime I might pull to hard and get a heavier reading depending on how supported I have the weapon

I can load mine up with approximately 40-45 lbs of lead and the recoil is hardly noticeable. I don't use the Caldwell lead bag (sold separately) because it doesn't hold enough lead. Instead I am using two 25 lb shot bags that I've filled with scrap lead. I've tied off the ends of the bags with plastic tie wraps. I find the primary restriction to holding more lead is the relatively short distance from the bottom of the pans up to the rails.

Nope. It didn't work for mine. Saving it until I get a new gun. Really loud and adds a lot of weight

Didnt have it when I did have to sight in my Gamo Whisper, but I did use it to zero my Marlin XL7 in 30-06. It handled the kick from that mule just fine, air rifle should be no issue. As you may already know, break action air rifles actually push forward when they recoil due to the momentum of the piston slamming forward, which will just lock it onto the rest even tighter. My one recommendation is to fill the stand (it has openings for this) with heavy sand or lead shot to add mass and keep it in place better. Mine weighs about 15lbs now, filled with a fine lead shot from sandbag weights.
