Yes, that was the ‘thrust’ of my question. I’m a science guy, an experimental guy, and I’m probably over-tasking myself, but I’ve been wanting to 3d print more gun accessories. I’ve done followers, rail hand/barrier stops, spigot adaptors, and other Knick nacks. With the 6mmARC and a Howa Mini Action, I see the potential for a really light-weight long-range set-up.

I have a multi-material printer and I thought that I could address the weight and recoil management of a light gun by playing with stock design. I was looking for a way to simulate recoil so I could take high speed pics or measurements in a lab/off-range setting. I was guessing that some kind of pendulum with a mix of weight and swing impacting a protector on the end of a barrel would mimic the recoil impulse.

Probably overthinking something our of my league.
