Porting is a royal pain to use, I won't do it again. I can't tell any difference in recoil. I would suggest an older used Rem. 1100 gun. Recoil is super soft with target loads like lite AA loads and it's bearable with the cheap 1300 fps bargain loads. A used 1100 gun can be had for a reasonable price especially one with a fixed choke. Get an improved cyl. for skeet and a full for trap. My skeet gun is an old field gun that was originally modified choke. I had it reamed out to I.C. for about 20.00. I do have an 870 trap gun, shoots great but it does kick with the promo loads from Academy. Not so bad with target loads.
