Just have to jump in on the recoil issue. I had a old SKB o/u I was shooting trap with and had a chance to buy a 34 inch unsingle barrel. It fit right on my receiver so I went out and shot 10 shells with the o/u then put the unsingle on and shot the last 15 shells. Shooting them back to back was startling as the unseeingly shot with much less recoil it was noticeable instantly. Weight is a good way to reduce felt recoil but that was not the issue as the 30 in o/u was about the same as the 34 single. The difference was the bore size the newer unsingle was a big bore barrel and that is what reduced the recoil I am convinced if that.The o/u was old and had tight bore vs the bigbore back to back was what made it so noticeable. We know stock fit and weight are big factors in recoil but I waS SUPPRISED on this experience.
