Newton’s third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Turkey hunters shooting full-power loads in magnum shotshells might not define it in such scholarly terms, choosing just to say the gun and load is a real “snot knocker.”
But Mossberg and Mathews have partnered to develop a new Recoil Reduction System that will be featured on seven new Mossberg pump-action shotguns this year.
Well-known in the world of archery and bowhunting, the Mathews Harmonic Damper incorporates a patented counter-phase technology that interrupts the recoil wave while weights floating in an internal elastomer wheel absorb recoil vibrations.
The Mathews Damper is housed in an exclusive Mossberg stock with interchangeable low- and high-profile combs to ensure a more comfortable fit and overall reduction of felt recoil.
This exclusive system features a unique Mossberg Dual-Comb stock design that incorporates Mathews Harmonic Damper Technology combined with a newly re-engineered thermoplastic elastomer recoil pad. The result is up to a 20-percent reduction in felt recoil and added comfort in the field or at the range.
The Mossberg Recoil Reduction System will be available on select 835 Ulti-Mag and 535 ATS Turkey and Waterfowl 12 gauge 3 ½-inch pump-action shotguns, and two model 500 12-gauge 3-inch pump-actions. That means there is a better shotgun in every price range.
