Well I shot the thing last night at the trap club and I am surprised at several findings.
As advertised the felt recoil (with trap loads) is almost non-exsistant. Feels a lot like a .410 really, the light weight of the gun makes it a little difficult to shoot trap with but I actually did better with low gun position. I suppose that's because I'm so used to the heavier trap/skeet gun. I see no problem with it in the duck blind and am looking forward to skeet this Sat.
The new choke system has made my Briley full and waterfowl chokes obsolete but I had a friend buy the full for his Nova at the club and the waterfowl will go to one of my hunting pals so no big loss. I did find that the Benelli chokes seem to be quite a bit tighter than I expected the full and improved Mod. were more than enough from the 22yd back to 27. I think next week I will try Mod. and do a little more at the pattern board before the crowd arrives.
All in all I'm pleased, but I will need more practice to get real comfortable with the light weight.
