Thats a good question that as not being a designer I couldn't really answer definitively. I would say function comes first, and if a reduced recoil design was in play, it would be implemented in either stock design (recoil reducing style with a shock built in), recoil damping stock butt pad, or on very high end rifles, recoil reducing damped barrels (look up the AA12 shotgun as a good example of this in action). You can obviously manipulate the barrel height (reason would state that a higher barrel height, less in line with the stock, would be harder to handle), and lower barrels push more "into" you than "over" you. I personally can tell this when shooting pistols, and prefer very "in your hand" styles such as CZ's
