  1. I have spent too much money and time with recoil reducing devices without success. Wish I had my money back! Mercury reducers in the stock will move the center of balance too far to the rear as the reducer is heavy with minimal effect on recoil. You could attach a brick on the stock with duct tape with virtually the same effect as mercury and at a greatly reduced expense!! I have had barrels ported in the past at no small expense and the pressure in a shotgun barrel is low and therefore the effect of the vented gases is minimal. Had a .44 Rem Mag pistol ported (MagNaPort) and it worked quite well due to the high gas pressures in the barrel. Porting "may" be more effective in a 3 1/2 inch as this is the highest pressure shotgun load made (the .410 is second believe it or not!). My experience was with 2 3/4 inch 12 ga. loads. I would be suspect of ported chokes with regard to recoil. Most of the major manufacturers of chokes will tell you vented chokes effect on recoil is minimal if at all. A gas-operated shotgun will produce minimal felt recoil for any given load. The recoil is spread over a longer time period and also avoids the sharp peak recoil of a non gas gun. A 3 1/2 inch fixed-breech Nova is going to kick like the devil and one either accepts that fact of physics or trades for a Beretta 391 or Remington auto. Best of Luck!
