Not stating you have poor recoil control, just each have their own recoil patterns. I find the SB has lower recoil, making shots usually easier to maintain. Rangers has a higher damage, but also higher recoil to compensate.

Overall pick what's best to you, for your playing style though. You said you had the SB, yet never had the Rangers. So you plan on trying to Myst-N yourself, until you find one at all?

Recoil is actually low if you think about it, just scopes increase the recoil's appearance. Put an ACOG and then Itech on an AK-47, you notice the recoil but the magnification amplifies it's actual recoil. Making it seem higher than it is, and overall affecting your performance usually. It's all a mind game really.
