Recoil on a scoped or non-scoped rifle will be the same regardless. How you hold the rifle will make the difference whether you get scope eyebrow or not.

I too have the habit of ridding up on the scope on high powered rifles, especially with high magnification (24 power) where the eye relief is less (about 3 inches).

The solution is to use a slip-on recoil pad which will give you a 1 inch longer length of pull on the stock and force you to stay away from the scope as well as reduce the felt recoil.
