encore shotgun

Does anyone have a TC encore that has a vent rib shotgun barrel? Would this set up work well for shooting clays and small game hunting such as rabbit?
 
I don't have any personal experience with it, but have heard that it has a rather quick "jerky" recoil due to it's lightweight. With target loads, i'm sure it would be managable though. Should be fine for clays. Not quite sure about rabbits because I always need a quick follow up shot when I hunt rabbits.
 
By jerky, I mean it has a sharper, quicker recoil than a shotgun of the same gauge, but of a heavier overall weight. If you can find a barrel with porting, that might solve some problems with muzzle rise. A 20 gauge would be fine also. That would be as small as I would go though. But in a 12 gauge, I think that 2 3/4" target loads wouldn't be too hard on your shoulder.
