The kinetic balancer isn't just a recoil reducer, it also can be used to alter the radius of gyration to fine tune the "feel" of the swing. Since the recoil reduction is based on a sprung mass, I suspect it's unsuited to the fast and heavy recoil of larger rifles (.300 WbyMag) without modification.
