Thanks for the feedback.
I've just bought a 32" silver pigeon and find it very 'pointable' & balanced and it certainly has less recoil than my old Browning.
Must admit not shot rough with it yet, but its still lighter than my old 30" 325.
Am 6' 2" plus so I feel it compliments my stature, though perhaps I'll try a 28" on skeet just to get a complete picture.
