I think that the pumping is what throws the sightline off ,more than the recoil with pump actions .Maybe there is a difference between really expensive autos and pump actions but I never felt it - save for the instances where the pump action is a lot lighter than the auto.

Weight is a bigger factor than mechanics in my view .
