I owned a beautiful little Bernadelli O/U in twenty gauge for 48 hours, and got rid of it for exactly that reason. It was a gorgeous gun, nice wood and a great balance. However, weighing about 5 ilbs, shooting six rounds of skeet could be considerd an interrogation technique at Gitmo. It was traded in (even money) on a 7 pound Webley and I was a much happier camper.
FQ13 who is not a wuss about recoil, but having a technicolor bruise after 150 rounds is not anyone's idea of fun
