I had a Tracker II 12 gauge and my shoulder just couldn't take the kick anymore. I now have a Mossberg 500 with Combo Barrels and both are ported, it reduces some of the kick from the slugs. No where near what my Tracker II kicked. The Ultra Slug Hunter is a very good weapon of choice. If your looking for a little more versatility i beleive they make the Pardner Pump with a rifled cantilever barrel and regular barrel. My dad has that and looooooves it.
