Listen guys.
This is not Tacti-cool. This is functional. I have a Remington 870 that I hated to fire. I did not want to ruin the wood furniture on it as it was beautiful.
I replaced the stock and foregrip with this:
I can not BELIEVE the difference this made. It's basically a mechanical shock absorber. Everyone who owns a 12 gauge ought to buy one of these. It has reduced down to something similar to a 308.
The important thing is: now it's FUN to shoot.
I tried a friend's 870 with the Knoxx recoil reducing stock and it kept smacking the sh*t out my cheek. Not a fan. I definitely prefer shooting with the original stock. However, I did purchase a limbsaver recoil reducing pad and it has greatly reduced felt recoil.
If you get cheek slap with that stock, you're holding it wrong. You need a firm cheek weld to use that stock properly. It's not designed for wing shooting, it's for running buckshot/slugs fast. Before I got one, I tried sighting in my 870 Supermag with slugs. I was eight and out. Left a nice bruise on my shoulder. After the Knoxx, no bruising, no ill effects, and once I figured out the hold, no cheek slap. If you want one for use on skeet/trap/quail, get the stock without the pistol grip.
