Thanks for the info. I think I'll go for the reducer and the limbsaver suggestion.
Yes recoil is definatly subjective, which greatly depends on our grip, hold and stance when shooting a thumper. Standing up, leaning forward and having a tight hold on my friends .375 Holland & Holland was suprising pleasant to shoot. Then I sat down at the bench to sight it for him. God I realy wish I hadn't pulled the trigger that day.
I'm thinking of installing the recoil reducer on my Nova Tactical Pump, but I can't see how adding 14.oz weight will damping the recoil very much, especialy with slugs. This reducer sells for over a $100 buck plus tax, thats 1/5 the price I paid for the gun.
Has anybody that's installed the reducer really feel a noticable differance?
