Or is it just me?
I inherited my grandfather's Remington clone of the Browning A5 autoloader shotgun and took it to the range. I don't have much experience with shotguns but have owned an 870 12ga and currently own a Beretta Silver Snipe 20ga, a sawed off snake charmer single shot 12ga, and a Weatherby 12ga pump tactical turkey gun.
The only other 12ga auto I have fired was my brother's Saiga. It is soft shooting compared to my weatherby, which hurts with just field loads after a few rounds.
I loaded up the A5 with Federal 2 1/2" #6 shot and was surprised at the recoil. It was punishing.
Is there something about the design that increases recoil?
