Keep in mind that this weapon’s stock is equipped with Benelli’s ComfortTech recoil system, which reduces aftershock by a claimed 40 percent. (Remington slugs.) Still, as Wayne from The American Firearm School said, it’s all in the posture. If you keep your body square and keep your focus downrange (where it counts), even if you get knocked backwards you can get back on target in a hurry. Still, a gentler gun for the gentler sex? Sam will have my guts for garters for saying that. But it has to be asked: can there be too much gun for a given body weight? There. That’s better. [NB: That's the Henry Repeating Arms Golden Boy .22 lever-action rifle at the end of the video. Full review of that piece on Thursday.]
