I wish my NEF were light as a feather... a 1,000 pound gun gets tiring after a while. and I only shoot 3" so recoil wouldn't be too big of a problemmuddyboots said:

This one weighed just a little under six pounds. The guy i got it from removed the weight from inside the stock.
There have been several people that have broken their collarbone shooting some of the lighter shotguns with the 3.5" turkey loads.
When in college a buddy of mine had a 10 gauge double barrel with a 30" or so barrel if I remember correctly. I had not gotten into turkey hunting at that point and he said "here shoot it" so I leaned up next to the car tire and took aim. I think when it went boom the car moved a foot.

I've got a NEF SS 20 which I use as a household protection weapon. It has a modified bore, and even with 2&3/4-1-6 it is not pleasant to shoot. I let my wife shoot it, just one time, and she was not happy with me that I didn't warn her.muddyboots said:
Andy S. said:Shooting paper with 12 gauge 3.5 turkey shells and 3" slugs are the worst I have ever been kicked. I am pretty sure the worst ever was the day I shot 12-15 Nitro 3.5" shells through my Rem 870 trying to get the POA to coincide with the POI. I finally managed after an hour and a half shooting and a slightly bruised/blackened cheek bone. I'd be willing to bet the Nitro 3.5" shells with 2 7/16 shot is worse than the 78 ft/lbs listed here. They kill on both ends when you are shooting paper. I never seem to notice the kick when shooting an ol' bird.
those 2 7/16 do kick.lol

I shoot a 10ga BPS and I don't do much target practice, found what worked years ago and sticking with it. Kicks like a mule, but don't feel it when that turkey bird is on the other end.

I put a primos jellyhead choke in my 835 it felt like it reduced the recoil almost in half.

Have always just shot what I had from 2 3/4in in a mod.37 half-hammer up to a 835 Mossberg that I use 3 1/2 Win Supremes in #5s. Best thing was a Limb-Saver recoil pad on the 835,took a lot of bite out of my end.

I would say "perseved" recoil. I cannot see how a simple ported choke would do much of anything to the actual recoil energy.

I to shoot a 835 with a ported Jellyhead and 24" ported barrell. It does take some sting out. I've shot the same load in my 870SM with no porting and can tell a very noticable increase as well as a BPS 3.5 mag.. Now how and why is beyond me. I don't have the degree in physics to explain it.
i am not debating if the ported choke works for you or not but from a physics stand point it "should" have minimal impact on actual recoil energy but can have impact on recoil muzzle jump or climb not to mention perseved recoil from a mental stand point.
I have shot ported and non ported and not tell much of a difference on the recoil but did notice a slight difference in how the recoil was felt. The ported one i shot did reduce some of the climb of the recoil but not a ton. Again thats just my experience and gun.
