I posted this on the Mossberg forum too but thought I'd try here as well.
I'm thinking of getting a second barrel for my Mossy 500 12ga. What is the opinion on ported barrels for this gun?
Do they really raise the noise level like ported rifles?
I am considering a 24 or 28 inch vent rib with accuchokes. I have done a little turkey hunting and less recoil would be welcome there. My gun has the plastic stock, could use a better recoil pad and occasionally really whacks me in the nose if I don't watch my head position (well my thumb gets my nose, even tho I've built up the comb a bit).
thanks.
