I put a 14 oz. mercury tube in the stock of my Benelli. It's a lot better. I've never ported a barrel, so I won't comment on it. I got my recoil reducer from Brownells. 0 -
I'd say the recoil reducer is the best.
It is designed specifically to reduce recoil - by adding slightly more weight to the weapon, and absorbing the recoil.
I don't believe the ported barrel takes off as much as a recoil reducer - like the one Rick mentioned.
If the ports are placed on the upper part of the barrel though, it helps minimizing the "jump" of the barrel - which helps getting a quicker second shot.

on the same subject , has anyone tried the recoil asorbing stocks for shotguns ? i located one for around a hundred bucks . do they work ? 0 -
You won't like the ported barrel for the noise. Go with a coil reducer. 0 -
Just picked up a Hogue CompStock recoil reducing stock for my Mossberg 500 12ga pump. I haven't installed it yet (next weekend) but the advertisement claims 55% reduction in recoil. I'll let you know how it goes.
So many guns, so little money . . .0 -
My Mossberg 500 combo came with a 28" ported bbl and an 18" non-ported bbl. There is noticeably less kick with the ported bbl. Less muzzle rise too, but apart from that there is distinctly less rearward pressure on my shoulder.

Porting both reduces recoil and (if done correctly) reduces barrel rise. As to additional noise, hearing protection (which we all should be using anyway) makes this a non factor of directing some noise upward instead of forward.
Stock recoil shock absorbers work great, but depending on design will pull your cheek as the stock comes back.
Recoil reducers that install inside the stock, don't detract from the appearance. Models such as the Edwards Recoil reducers take the recoil and spread it over a longer period of time, therefore softing the recoil. The Edwards does not contain any nasty mercury, and I have several on my trap guns. The added weight is not a factor on a trap or sporting clays gun. And with the weight in the stock, the swing of a skeet gun is not effected either.

I have a Benelli Nova, with the recoil reducer installed. It did make a difference. After 200+ rounds trap shooting, I still get sore. I have read about extended choke tubes, that are ported. I am going to buy one soon, and try it out. Has anyone here used one, and does it make a difference? They are pricey, around 70.00 each.

Check Colonial Arms for less expensive ported tubes. I did not notice a differance in recoil, but maybe that was just me. I was attempting to shoot sporting clays at the time and was a mite distracted. I hate those rabbits!
