[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2021541, member: 1132"] It's all in the weight of the gun, action type, stock configuration, bore configuration, charge weight (both powder and payload) of the shell and technique. In other words, there are many variables that effect perceived recoil. If you want the payload of a 12 bore but less recoil, you'll need to step up to a gas operated autoloader, and even those are not all created equal. I really don't think you're buying yourself much by dropping to a pump in 20ga and a flyweight, recoil operated 20 will still kick like a 12. The best thing you can do is define what you want the gun to do for you and what you will do with it, and work from there. If not, you'll wind up with a less than ideal compromise. [/QUOTE]
