Gentry, Vais, KDF, or even magnaport are all going to reduce recoil significantly. And I understand this reason for wanting one with the shoulder and all. From what I have seen, the Vais is probably the most effectective and the magnaport the least effective.

But think about this for a moment. Maybe when practicing, use a nice real thick pact recoil shoulder pad. Then when out west, you probably won't be shooting more than a handful of shots, and that shouldn't affect your shoulder. I figured the hunt alone would be more irriatating to a shoulder than those shots. Reason I say this, is I had an accumark with a break. Everyone hated to shoot by me at the range. I mean its hard to consentrate with the percussion alone, never mind the noise. And if not machined perfectly, it can make your gun less accurate. When I started shooting magnums, I thought I needed the breaks. But over a few years, I learned how to shoot without one accurately. But either way I understand why you want it. Just don't want you to do something you will regret.
