I have shot my 12ga Tac-14 quite a bit .... and it has become my main woods bumming gun.
Does your 14” 11-87 have a shoulder stock? If it doesn't here a suggestion":
Focus on reduced low recoil loads!!!
Full power loads are difficult to manage in a gun without a shoulder stock.... When I got my Tac-14 new I tried it ... and the result was that the gun recoiled out of my hands ... and landed in the sand in front of my feet .....
So much for 2oz Blue Dot loads .....
Here an interesting video hat explains what I mean .....
