Well when i bought the beast thats exactly what the salesman told me that the 10ga would kick a little less than the 12 due to the weight. As far as I'm concerned it kicks like a mule but it shoots great and thats all I'm concerned about.

When i first bought this gun i had a few friends with custom guns that were worked on by Mark Bansner tell me that my 10ga was a poor mans turkey gun. Well they just couldn't wait to take me to the range and show me up with there custom turkey takers. Well after we were done shooting they all didn't have to much to say anymore. My poor mans turkey gun outshot all theres!!!!!

Me personally i would get the 10ga...
