I bought my Nova a couple of years ago and just put in the recoil reducer this weekend. i tested it out on some grouse and didn't really give it a huge test, as I was camping with some kids and pets who didnt like the noise in camp. but from the 6 or so shots I fired I didn't feel hardly anything. It did weigh the gun down another lb but if you are doing some field hunting for birds you probably don't need the insert anyway. If you are shooting magnum loads and sport shooting your going to want to have it. Good aftermarket product!!

I too just bought the bracket and merc insert today. I looked at that hose and figured out, according to the user manual, that you need to shave off a section of that tube. I got it installed and am going hunting next weekend, wheather permitting. I have had my Nova for 2 years and its the best firing gun I have ever had. Well worth the 3 hondo I paid for it. I now see that Gander mountain and Cabelas have jacked up the price 75 buck this year. Has anyone used the recoil reducer yet? Any noticable difference?
