thomas D Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 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?

DV Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 The reducer I installed in my Nova Tactical turned the recoil from 1oz slugs from a sharp, sudden kick into a slower, heavy push- make no mistake, I can still tell I`m shooting 12 ga slugs but the recoil seems to be softened and much more tolerable. Remember that recoil is subjective- YMMV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallhanger54 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 You might also look into Limbsaver recoil pads. I believe they are making one for the Nova now and if you havent tried one you should. They really do work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleric Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Last I heard, the Nova specific pads would be out at the first of the year. I'd be interested to hear if they had pushed that up. I would go for the pad first and then see if you need the recoil reducer. I never went that extra step.

thomas D Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
