doesnt look out of place.
this isnt a criticism,honest question....just what loads were you using to beat you up with 2 3/4 " loads????
if you drop payload weight down to the awesome 30-32grn loads the recoil is dropped and so are the ducks. the remington nitro and winchester duck load are both 35grms and both arent excessive in recoil department.
IF you were using remington hyper steel.....I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY ...they are naasty.

hey micky duck , im using steel 2 3/4 shot standard brought from gunstore . I had surgery on both my shoulders some 10+ years ago to stop them dislocating and where the scar tissue is it gets a hammering and i turn black and blue. Im not sure if its the shoulder surgery or the guns not the right fit for me but i was given the gun and cannot sell it so i thought id try the limb saver first. It kicks like a mule and is not fun to shoot when it beats me up.

What is the recoil like normally for a 2 3/4 shotgun with no padding on the stock plate ?
