I own this shotgun. It is fantastic. The design of this gun is such that recoil is so minimal I was shocked! It is my first shotgun, tho I have fired many others, Remi semi 12ga, Mossburg500 pump.. Mossburg=painful recoil.

My first day out shooting clays I put 500 rounds thru, and by the first 25 was hitting 2/3 clays as a new shooter and using Federal target load. By the end my shoulder felt unhurt!

After that, off to shoot grouse. a pleasure on the trail, nice and light.
