"kent" haha yeah tell me about it, the recoil is normall as it is with any other over under its just the gamebore's are known for a hard felt recoil (in any gun), was lovely of the shop owner to mention how the gamebores kick like a donky! :blink: haha, going for Hull comp x 28g as was recomended them for clays, and will finish the gamebore and wave good bye to them, had a laugh with someone i meet on here, both shot gamebore clear pigeons and both felt that after 100 we were happy to get 1 more shot in, completly different make, line the gamebores up and get rid of them! love the gun its a beauty!
