Amazing Video

I don't usually visit the shotgun forum but I ran into an amazing video that I thought would be of interest:

Yeah, those more of "it's the Indian, not the arrow" kind of deals. But I have no doubt the extrema is a nice shotgun, lowish on the recoil, and very reliable.

looks interesting, but I don't think I will need to unload 12 shots in 1.73 seconds when hunting. Interested in the low recoil. Gonna have to try one out at the sporting clays meet and I will let you know, looking for something larger than 28gauge for my wife.

2 questions

#1 Is that the brand/model Dick Cheeny prefers? ;-)

#2 Hunting-wise looks like a great quail gun, but I wonder how the gun would perform shooting 3" mag 1oz slugs, as in say deer or hog hunting. I wonder if the "low recoil" system has a detrimental affect on the projectile(s) down range . . . say +/-50yards w/buckshot and at about 100yards w/slugs.

Wow

That's just incredible. I think Im going to add the Xtrema2 to list of shotguns for future purchase. Great shooting by those guys. It almost looked too easy...

12 rounds in the tube? that's one kick-butt shottie. Too bad it's the price of 2 1911s.

I have an Extrema2 KO and although I've never tried to run that many through, you can run em through pretty quick.

I expect his gun has had some work (ya think?) and doubt you could do it out of the box. My Benelli M1 seems about as fast if not faster, but I shoot 3" with the Extrema and 23/4 with the Benelli though.

yes they probably have some sort of recoil dampening system like the KNOXX stocks use (which work like a charm by the way). and they gun certainly has to have been tweeked by the guy.

Well if it's not a box stock gun, then wouldn't that be false/misleading advertising to show a model of the gun like that performing in that way, when the gun you actually get doesn't? My bet is that it's the stock model; just being used with VERY light loads - just enough to cycle the action.

I just got back from shooting trap. I did rattle 3 off pretty quick thinking of the video. I can't imagine that magazine of his is out of the box...could it be?

Santa Claus brought me 1 pistol and 2 shotguns last year. Extrema2 and a Weatherby Athena V. I take both to the range. Its nice to switch to the Extrema to give my shoulder a rest. I forgot my vest today.

Well, I don't mean the magazine is stock, because the consumer is not being fooled - he or she can see that long mag, and see the actual advertised mag capacity of the shotgun before buying. But the ease of shootability, recoil, etc. - if it's significantly gunsmithed, that's more than a little deceptive.

But no, that's not the normal capacity at all. It's more like 4 or 5 +1, IINM:
