I am buying a new slug gun, and need one with less recoil than I have now. (Mossberg 695 12ga) I was looking around and found the Benelli Nova 20ga slug. It seemed perfect for my needs, so I called my dealer for a price. He said that his catalog showed no such weapon. It is on Benelli's website, so I gave them a call. I was informed that the 20ga had been discontinued. I looked around their site more, and saw the Supernova. They claim that the comfortech stock reduces recoil up to 48% compared to other shotguns.
Does it work as advertised? I can handle my wifes 1100 12ga deer gun fine, will this be similar, less, or more in terms of recoil? Just trying to find out somewhat before I spend the money. So far the only other option I am considering is the Remington 870 slug in 20ga, but I prefer the rifle sites on the barrel and drilled/tapped reciever of the Benelli.
Thanks for any input.
