Well, I went ahead and ordered a gun from Wal-Mart. Got the Tracker II in 12ga. Decided to go with the 12ga so I wasn't mixing guages of ammo. Thought I'd invest in a good recoil pad to tame the kick with my savings and try to stay with 2 3/4 non-magnum ammo as well. Do you think this set up will allow for some good shooting w/o wild recoil? If I were to add weight to help further, how would that be best accomplished? Thanks!
