Yep Skeet, I am skipping deer season again this year. Got out for goose season 4 times in the last week, which is a miracle, but I will take it. Had some pretty good success too.
Regarding the choke tubes. Rifled slugs (e.g., foster type) usually perform best out of a smooth bore with either IC or C choke tubes. In other words, don't use a rifled coke tube for rifled slugs. Use the rifled choke tubes for sabots.
Like Skeet, I am a wimp when it comes to recoil. For waterfowling I have a mercury recoil reducer in the stock and then when I add the fully rifled ER Shaw slug barrel and scope to the Benelli SBE I add another recoil reducer on the magazine cap. I have fired close to 30 sabots in a sitting without too much trouble and without back ache the next morning. If I had the room and the money, I would probably buy a Caldwell lead sled too.
