Jason, go ahead and get yourself that Big Ten. I love all three of mine. Only one H&R but that's not the point.
My H&R Waterfowl special is the berries for geese. When a flock of honkers fly over, pick your bird and drop it! With the long barrel and the factory supplied chunk of steel in the butt-stock, recoil is not a factor. Not saying this to dupe you into shooting a gun that is not fun to shoot. Just my opinions. I've posted this pic before but what the heck, it's not my bandwidth. Just remember, the barrel is 32 inches.
