No magic load; he holds the gun tight (as anyone should) into his shoulder

 

Combination of the beretta Steelium pro X barrels, and the new OCHP chokes. The DT had 22” cones and 18.6 bore. This gun has 18” cones and 18.4 bore. Clearly superior. 🥴
It’s not magic. SL’s weigh 91/2 lbs. recoil is a simple equation. Gun weight, payload velocity, and payload weight.

 

Wow. I didn't realize it was that heavy. That would explain it. Does he use ported barrels?

 

Heavy guns are a great thing, as long as the weight is between the hands

 

My ProSporter has next to no recoil also. Also a 9 1/2 lb gun. Fit is spot on. And I shoot relatively light shells. 1 oz 1250, or 1 1/8oz 1200 most of the time.

 

The new Browning Pro Sporter?

 

Not only does Anthony have great technique, he has a stock made by one of the best in the industry.

 

Presently the steellium pro is the best barrel out there. As mentioned, Anthony has perfected his gun mount, along with a stock that he is confident in.

 

Define “best”
Thanks in advance

 

That’s an old video and not the gun he shoots now.

 

Does he really shoot a 9.5lb gun?

 

Not sure any of us can correctly answer it but I wouldn't be shocked. He is a tall, strong and fit dude and the heavier gun would soak up recoil. He often shoots a ton of targets in 3 days at these major events. He posts here from time to time and if he sees this he might answer. would be interesting to hear what he were to share.

 

Yes, it’s magic. Beretta has captive elves in their factory who conjure special barrels for them.
Go look at the Fabarm TRIBORE HP barrel and choke system. They’ve been using it for decades and yet Fabarm guns have not taken the target gun world by storm due to their amazing barrel tech.

Fabarm make barrels for CG too and I've yet to hear of any barrel convergence problems with CGs. However, Berettas are a different story.

 

Round hole and 32" long

 

Exactly

 

It's not the weight of the gun . It's more due to perfect pitch in the stock making recoil straight back versus muzzle jump.

He also doesn't shoot 1oz any more, he said it in a video with Johnny Carter/TGS about a year ago.

 

You can buy a Perazzi HT from 8#4 to over 9# and set them up to feel/point/swing about the same. The heavier gun will only feel heavier picking it off the gun rack by the barrels - and will recoil less.

 

It is gun weight.

 

The reason is one thing and one thing only- custom stock.

That's it. No magic at all.

 

Yes, no magic here; however cannot escape Newton's 2nd and 3rd laws no matter how good one is.

Two things, assuming a perfect mount, gun weight AND perfectly custom fitted stock.

 

His gun seems to recoil noticeably less than most others with custom stocks and heavy guns.

 

If it was truly magic he'd still he shooting that gun, but he's not.

Extreme Length Forcing cones, NASA designed space age choke tubes, harmonically tuned porting barrels and all the other nonsense don't mean a damn thing. You give him a K80, Perazzi, Kolar, or Blaser he'd do the same thing with any of them.

 

Being over 80, 9 1/2# is just too much. That said, I love my Perazzi HTS SL - 8# 4oz total weight, with 33" FC barrels weighing 1560 grams.

 

Has AM jnr gone back to his DT11?
Saw a photo from the worlds and it certainly didn't look like a SL2 he was shooting?

 

In pictures posted by Double Barrelled Picture Company on Facebook and in the Brits vs Yanks video posted by Charlie Faulds on YouTube he is shooting an SL2.

 

I like it! My Italian begins and ends with words like cacciatore and lasagna.

 

My two MX8's weight 9 lb 1 oz and 9 lb 2 oz. I'm 75. I don't feel like these guns are "heavy" at all. I like the weight for recoil reduction and the "smoothness" they provide. And SERA was right in his post above. That was Matarese shooting his Beretta DT11. I understand he now shoots the "magic wand" Beretta SL2 (all $22,000 worth of it). The claim is that this gun really reduces recoil. May be - I would not know, but it should come with a steering wheel at that cost!

I read where David Radulavich claimed his Perazzi Hi-Tech reduced recoil 30% when compared to his MX-2000. That is difficult for me to understand. The Hi-Tech receiver is something like 1.5 ounces heavier than the MX receivers and that is about the only significant difference. That into and of itself is not going to reduce recoil significantly. That's pure physics. I've talked with a few Perazzi owners of both MX and Hi Techs and they certainly don't see that kind of difference!

Marketing is a wonderful tool to psych people into perceiving something that isn't real!

 

Do all the folks shooting a DT11 with steelium pro barrels have guns that recoil like Matarese's?

 

I haven't been around any of the greats in a while, but when i show up with my 870 and release triggers, people look at it and me. I can see the envy and want to in their eyes.

 

What is an 870?

 

Dt11, 1200 fps 1 oz. Stock fits perfectly.
It is also like a BB gun.

On another video I saw the guy getting kicked like a mule with the sl2. ( I think the channel is target focused life )

he was saying how much less recoil in the sl2 vs dt11 but the video shows him being pushed backwards with the sl2 but no recoil in the dt11.

 

My DT11 is the least recoiling O/U I have shot and I have shot most all of them except a Beretta SL2. In fact it recoils about the same as a Beretta A400. It does have custom fitted stock that Rich Cole did for me.

 

Have U every shot a K80 or High tech? I find they all feel basically the same. They are all basically the same weight too
