I think I can help you out....About 5 weeks ago I purchased a beretta teknys gold sporting w/ a 30 " barrel and put about 1,000 rounds thru it. I never could get comfortable with it...the fore end and stock were just to thick for my liking. If you can't get comfortable in the stand before you say pull you don't stand a good chance for success. Just last week I purchased a 12 ga Legacy and put a case thru it this past weekend. I love it! It feels much better to me. The recoil of the legacy is a little bit heavier than the teknys but I believe that a port job fix that.
Good luck!
