Hey all , How bad is the recoil, with the Encore 12GA slug barrel????

Does it compare to a New england Single shot 12ga in 3 1/2" Mag ???

Have been thinking hard on Getting the 12ga slug barrel.. For Fun and For Deer.... Any input welcome...

Thanks

You can tame the recoil by installing a Sims pad and or a mercury recoil suppressor.

Redhawk,
This Might sound funny . But I stuffed two Roles of pennys down the stock on my new england 3 1/2" mag. Couldn't believe how much it helped with recoil. It also helped, with keeping the barrel down..

I've never had the recoil pad off of an Encore . Is something like this possible with them also??? I'm guessing probably not, I assume the stock would be solid up to the grip...

The stock on the Encore would have to be drilled. It is a very easy to drill.

It's pretty stout but managable. If you're using a scope, be careful you dont get scope eye.

Stay away from the 3" mags.
