The receiver's ejection port is very wide for reliable spent shotshell hull ejection with no potential for jamming (albeit you still need to be critical of riflescope adjustment turrett placement in the mounted position).
The surprisingly squishy Savage recoil pad is somewhere on the order of "between a SIMS pad and a Kick's recoil pad" in terms of softness, recoil reduction, and material memory.
Insert your extra 2-rounds of 20 gauge ammunition here. The magazine catch is both strong and quite audible. No play in my magazine to mag well fit.
A 2-round plastic magazine provides for 3 shotshells to be on hand for your quarry.
Ammunition testing and modifications begin next.
