I have ordered a SA-20, All Purpose Field. I intend to use it for hunting squirrel and dove and for informal clays shooting.
I read a number of favorable reviews before ordering it but had not discovered this forum. After reading the various threads here I see for the first time that it may not cycle with light loads. I had intended to use light loads because I am coming off a partially detached retina and have healed enough to shoot again, but I need to be careful.
I would like to know how you folks feel about the felt recoil with this gun. I know recoil is a result of many factors, including fit, weight and loads but some shotguns are known for soft recoil. So, how would you guys who own them rate the SA-20 for soft shooting, or not so soft shooting?
