I have Kick-EEZ pads on both my Sport ll's, and I don't mind the recoil at all. Been using these for a few years now, and don't bother with my O/U's much at all anymore. :-) They'll never be as light recoiling as a gas gun, but the benefits of the inertia system far outweigh the slight added recoil. (at least in my book)

>>it was mentioned that one disadvantage of the inertia system is that if fired while holding the gun against a concrete wall, the action will not cycle. Why would anyone care? I have two Benelli Sport lls, and have yet to find a need to fire them when held against a concrete wall.

>>You could also look at the Sport II for the walnut Great gun! I have one in 12 and 20 ga., used strictly for clay shooting.

>>and most of the time I see the left side of the barrel It sounds like your gun doesn't have enough "cast off".

>>Light modified is a bit tight for skeet Ditto that.

You might want to add in the barrel length and where you're located.

Simply make one out of a wooden dowel.

Hunting guns: Carried a lot.. shot little (light) Sporting guns: Shot a lot.. carried little (heavy)

And then try "sporting clays" if you really want to have some fun!

FYI..it doesn't take much to upset trap shooters!

Be very careful here, as the 30" package is VERY long! (like a 34" o/u) My 28" is actually much longer than my 30" o/u, so give them both a feel before you make your decision.

"While we can’t show you what’s inside the case, we can reveal that the new Vinci will redefine the architecture of the semi-automatic shotgun." How'd you guess??

Different thread configuration.

I wouldn't exactly say they're the softest kicking guns on the market, but they're no worse than an O/U. I use the Benelli Sport ll exclusively for the clay sports, and don't find them to be offensive at all. I have the same gun in both 12 & 20 ga. and love them. Plus, they're a breeze to clean!

>>To some degree, I think a lot of folks subscribe to the "two barrels, two different chokes" theory You know, I used to subscribe to that theory when I used O/U's but found that for the most part, I get by just fine with an IC choke. However, I sometimes carry a Lt. Mod. choke for those rare occasions where IC might not be the best choice. I think perhaps our shots aren't as long here in NH as compared to the wide open spaces of Kansas. :-)

>>I know of only one serious shooter who uses a Benelli for sporting clays shooting Interesting, as there are several folks in my club using Benellis for "serious" sporting clays use, including myself. In fact, I liked my 12 ga. Sport ll so much I went out and bought the same thing in 20 ga. I guess it must be a "regional" thing.
