If you don't mind the appearance, The JP Enterprises Recoil "eliminator" does just that.. My 8mm Mauser has as much recoil as a .22.
Note: The smith was a little over cautious and over bored the eliminator for a .338 instead of .323 and the result is I have about 10% recoil. I'm able to watch my rounds strike down range without losing sightpicture.
