Hey guys, I recieved this email today, and thought I would see if anyone had any insight:
Tim, I can't get into my address book, so if you send me an email I can "reply" but I am having trouble with something on there...if you can fire me an email, I'll reply with the contact info, etc. For this question:

Comments:
Tim Peterson mentioned in an email string that he had an Extrema2 to shoot. I am interested in ayone who can give me a hands-on recoil report for the Extrema2. I recently had neck surgery so it is important for me to find some "Real" data wrt recoil. Does the Extrema2 present a step-change in recoil reduction over say an 11-87? Any help you could provide would be very welcome.

You have mail.The xtrema2 is very sweet and very light recoil,infact if you were to shoot last years model(xtrema)and compare it back to back there is hardly no difference but there is a little with the help of the "kick off"hydralic"recoil pad on the xtrema2.

Hands down the extrema2 will out perform the 11-87,X-2 or the browning gold,all are good guns don't get me wrong but none of these gas operated shotguns will cycle not only lite loads as well but heavey waterfowl loads in extreme conditions like the extrema!Can't tell ya how many different guys I've shared a blind with in the cold that ended up shooting a single shot with these other brands.But remember you'll have to pay the price but this gun will last a lifetime.

This gun is the softest shooting magnum gun I've shot,all working components are stainless,even the choke tubes,the barrel is backbored from the fatory as well as the forcing cone has been legthen'd all to reduce felt recoil.

I shoot the benelli SBE2 and have shot benelli for the last 10years for various reason's,the biggest reason is the easy break down to clean and no gas porting or "o-rings"to replace and always cycles spent shells in the most extreme condition's...

The xtrema2 will be just fine for most hunting sinario's and the gun I would choose for minimum recoil and dependability.
