I guess I'm going to have to buy this rifle to know how they shoot, Because I don't know anyboby that has one I could shoot.You say it is similar to a slug gun recoil wise? How about rem 1100 semi w/ 3" mag shells? is that close? the only slugs i have shot were in a win 1300 12 ga pump 2 3/4". Some people act like the rum is terrible, then iknow someone w/ a .338 RUM and he says its not that much more than a .300 win mag... I don't know what to do?
