I really don't know if we can compare a Stevens and a Parker in recoil dynamics. The only Parker that ever hurt me (except the 12 ga. Trojan I hunted with when I was twelve) due to recoil is a 20 ga. VH owned by my son-in-law. The gun weighs about 5 1/2 lbs and I won't shoot it anymore unless with RST's softest loads.
But I've been punched pretty good when shooting shotguns by other manufacturers.
