A lot of the young redneck duck hunters I checked 15 or more years ago were shooting Mossberg 3 1/2 inch magnum 12 gauges and they usually only shot them for one season and got rid of them because of punishing recoil. They claimed the recoil was terrible with 3 inch loads also. Probably were shooting steel out of full chokes.

Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
