Good Day. My question is about the recoil of the venerable 12g shotgun. I USED to own a mossberg 12g youth. Whenever I shot it I got a debilitating headache for about a day and a half and it gave me the flinches just looking at it. So, What should I expect from a full size 12g? I'm looking at a Remington 870 synthetic camo version or something similar. It's primary use will be HD but I will also be using it for "plinking" and some hunting. If it matters, I'm 5-4 and 130#'s I might also consider a 20g youth size gun. Thanks, ChefJeff
