How many shots during the hunt? One, five, ten, more?
What quarry?
Grouse? Pig?
Stalk or driven hunt?
In my experience, if only shooting a few shells, and during the hunt, I never feel the recoil or hear the gun smile
They do have 3 inch chambers and thus are proofed for heavy factory loads.
Thanks
Mike
