Rodney - CORRECTION: this shotgun does come with a ported barrel. It has a ventilated rib (along the top of the barrel) and a XXF choke tube in the barrel, in this picture. A ported barrel on a shotgun can slightly reduce felt recoil. They are used more so in skeet/trap shooting, where the shooters fire hundreds of rounds a day, than anything else. For general shotgun use in the field or on a range, a ported barrel offers minimal benefits.

Porting should somewhat reduce felt recoil and have a significant effect on muzzle climb at the cost of more noise and a larger flash. In short, porting should help but it will certainly not eliminate recoil or muzzle climb especially when used with magnum loads.
The information I can find using this gun's UPC on other sites is that it does have a ported vent rib barrel. -

Rodney, yes a ported barrel would direct expended gasses up to reduce muzzle jump. This shotgun does have a "Ported" 24" Vent rib barrel with an extended XX-Full choke tube.

Yes it is a ported barrel while in theory a ported shotgun barrel should reduce recoil and muzzle rise I can tell you that they have become less common on trap and skeet fields as the advantages are unnoticeable but the disadvantage (noise) is a real concern I shot a ported skeet gun for a few years but NONE of my current shotguns are ported. I would strongly suggest wearing double hearing protection with a ported barrel
