Shadow great! Bullets forward for me.

Im saying that they are spotty right out of the box. Some are great some are not without some work. The box, however, is of a very consitsent size and capacity. The graphics are very precisely placed it closes every time and opens easily. The springs never wear out because it doesn't need them and you don't have to cut, polish, nor port, to use it to hold the originalc contents......yeah......the box.

This might be a good question to ask proof research.

Stoeger M3K Freedom or FN SLP Competition - which is more reliable out of the box?..... ... . . The Box!

Hmmmm, how used??? My M1 is up to 378,000 rounds and still running great! I don't think I'd buy a used one with over 297,000 rounds on it. I want to break it in myself!

Practical port work??? I think those words don't mean what you think they do!!!!

Federal gold medal match 7.5 shot 1 1/8 ounce at 1200 fps. The best ever!!!!

My top fuel drag car would occasionally choke on regular 87 octane gas......matter of fact it ran down right poorly, but I had a lot of 87 octane gas, so I switched to an engine from a stock Honda civic and have been happy ever since!.....well I'm not placing that well, but hey!!! Pump Gas!!!

I got one drilled it all out, did all the tricks and I can't say it was any better than what I started with. With all the hype I was expecting at least some improvement, but maybe it just isn't cut out for 458 SOCOM.

There have been historical records of very happy Edsel owners as well.

I think folks are adding a Benelli to the 940 for reliable operation, but this might just be hearsay

Poppy cock! If it isn't at 6:00 on one side of the other you will have to lean way out at corners exposing a bunch of mission critical stuff to the pop up shoot back target systems. Far better a "neutral" light position.....especially indoors!

The very best 36 yard zero puts you dead on at 36 yards! For anything else..... Well you have to zero it at that range.

Right you are Ken! It is a two stage, and it is adjustable. Not a funny trigger just a different type than you may be used to.

A far better tab is the Redneck Tactical one from Brownells, it comes with very detailed Instructions at less than $20.00

All gone!

There is a tool in the classifieds that fixes the problem of Benelli M2/M1 not hitting point of a with slugs and patterns. I thought I'd let you guys know so it doesn't get lost in the classifieds.

Hold hard and favor the center

Well I'm a limited guy and that made my head hurt too! 300 yard zero with iron sights and just aim at the top of at the card from 400 on out. Oh sorry, I forgot we were talking about Intense magnification....carry on!

Well the tube doesn't care how long the shells are. In general it is harder to get the 3.5" guns to run 3-gun type shells we use reliably, but it can be done. I myself prefer a smaller port, but I don't load like you. Everytime I try a "long" receiver gun I feel like I'm throwing a hotdog down a hallway!

So if that bushing isn't in place you have less spring compression? Kind of like running a reduced or lightened recoil spring? And there is more bolt bounce? That's just crazy talk, where's that salt water? On an aside, I'm not sure adding weight to the carrier will help with bolt bounce, and more than likely the opposite. The 3" shell allowed more deceleration of the bolt group as it was closing due to drag, not because of weight. What the weight will do is allow the carrier to remain in place during recoil longer which in turn compresses the inertia spring more. More weight equals less power needed to cycle so in theory you can use lighter shells either in weight of shot, or less velocity.

I don't know about all Stogies, but a lot of them do bounce a tiny bit. As long as it doesn't fully unlock your fine. I think you will find that the light springs don't help, and can in some cases hinder. I would no sooner put in a lighter recoil spring in a shotgun than I would soak it in salt water for a year.

Not saying one isn't flatter than the other, just pointing out the physics thing. Kind of like saying my 1911 is much flatter shooting than my 1873 Colt single action. The grip is much lower on the single action so it flips up more.

If you really want to compare, they would have to be the exact same set up, so in your case flatter means nothing.

I can see why. The shoulder pad of the stock on the J.P. is sitting under the recoil tube, while the cobalt stock is sitting over an inch higher. Simple physics says your pivot point is a lot different, causing the J.P. to jump more!
