Back then I crawled the stock way more then I do now . Anyway the first shot from that thing with those shells opened up a whole new world . Now while I’d still like to have a Parker or Ithaca NID for 10 gauge 3 1/2” I don’t think I care to shoot the 2 1/4 ounce turkey loads in them any longer .

I had bought one of the Ithaca Mag 10s back in the 80s. I hand-loaded for it, and developed some pretty effective long range waterfowl loads. Had lots of fun with that gun. But that was back when I was a big, strong kid, and not much affected by recoil.
When shooting a 10-mag, you definitely would not want to have your back resting against an unmovable object. The gun is going to travel backwards, and either your body moves, or it gets mashed a bit.
