I don't know why, but this is actually the softest recoiling single shot 12 ga. I own or have ever even fired and my son agrees. It's so comparable to our H&R and NEF guns in appearance, but for some reason known only to the Chinese it has much, much, very much less felt recoil which is the only reason I have not sold it. I've reloaded and handloaded my own shotshells for thirty some odd years as well so I can control payloads and recoil in any gauge that way as well. I have a wide assortment of chokes for it including an extended 5" Browning (not currently manufactured) rifled tube for slug and ball. I think it's a great option for replacing the NEF even though it's made in China which normally would have been a deterrent for me, but for $85 NIB I couldn't turn it down!
@@MigsOnGuns I found it online for that price so I did have to pay an extra ten bucks transfer fee from a neighbor that does transfers. I don't know why they were selling the guns that cheap though unless they were going to stop stocking them. I've had it for maybe three years. I wish they had it in 18" barrel threaded for chokes as it would make an excellent backpack shotgun for a camp site. With the right tube it could be put to use to hunt just about anything in a pinch.
Mine stock I used 2 3/4 and 3” shells was hard to shoot Added a cheek rest and gel limbsaver recoil pad helped a lot able to shoot 100s of 2 3/4 and 3” shells in one day at a bachelor party I absolutely love shooting it now I even shoot 3” turkey loads and slugs with ease now very comparable to 30-06 in felt recoil on the most stout of 12 gauge loads
Yeah… you could absolutely tell that slug was BRUTAL! Not surprised 💥 I’d bet if you shot the shorty slug prior the all the other shoulder abuse I’d be even less uncomfortable. Still gonna punch though. GREAT review 🍻
Thanks for watching! If a guy could only have one gun for life that had to do everything this just might be it. Thankfully we’re spoiled for choice these days haha
Hey man, me again. I love this gun so much!! Would you dume a big favor and test different loads through a turkey choke? I'm thinking of using whinchester super x triple aught buckshot for deer. I know, prabobaly gonna hurt like the dickons, but noone else has a spasific review on this shotgun with these rounds. P.S: You need more subscribers!!!
The gun is not balanced that's why u feel more of the recoil some weights in the stoke should help i used 16 ounces in mine i shoot 3in oobk magnum shells for deer sometimes one handed but again im not a wimp
410 is hard to come by and expensive. 20 gauge (at least for slugs) has as much or more energy than low recoil and shorty 12 gauge. I have no practical reason to own the 301, it’s just for fun.
Hilarious how people complain about a shotgun in 12ga are "uncomfortable" to shoot. Need to gain some weight, use a shoulder pad, practice more, drop gauge size, or..... Dont shoot 1.
