Note, this assumes a shotgun you are trying fits you fairly well. I don't think that the measure of the recoil in either brand of gun has so much to do with anything less than the fit considering that x weight of gun with x load will yield x recoil....period. That being said, the Nova does seem to soak up a bit more of the recoil than my Remington 870's even though my 870's are slightly heavier. Chrome lined bores and overall more resistance to rust, I prefer my Novas over all, PLUS, I like their bolt design and the slide release feature.

And if there truly is less recoil? They say there is a 47% less recoil, but want to find out if that is fact before I buy it. Benelli SuperBlack Eagle II
