870 with a knoxx stock

**Underdog** · November 14th, 2010, 06:38 PM

I just ordered a remington 870 tactical with a knoxx stock, this is my first shotgun. It's a 20ga with an 18" barrel and it will mostly be used for HD and occasional range use. I've got plenty of rifles and handguns, just no shotguns. I looked real hard at the mossberg 500 cruiser line and I believe that will be soon to follow. Anyone have any experience with this specific model? Good points or bad? Id appreciate your input!

I looked at the wingmaster but the problem was the barrel length in stock form. I want something way shorter and it's just a matter of personal preference. I saw nothing mall-ninja about it, it looked total functionality and tactical to me. I understand the express is the cheaper model and I've heard lots of good reviews on them, and that played heavily into my decision.

ive been reading & watching reviews on the Blackhawk Knoxx stocks for shotguns & rifles - all very good stuff said about them.

ditto. i've got a SpecOps on my 500. love it. there are lots of purists who will bitch and moan about how all that newfangled technology is a bunch of hooey. fact is, the recoil system does what knoxx says it will. i'm faster and more accurate. for the casual - experienced user, it's a win. i don't doubt there are serious operators who may not need or care for it. that doesn't mean it isn't exceptional.

The Spec Ops stock works extremely well. It is not my favorite "looking" addition to the 870. But man 0' man does it work. I don't shoot a lot of target loads out of mine, and even with hi-vel slugs and magnum buckshot it makes the 12g a kitten. My 100# lady feels the same way. She can go through a few multipacks of slugs and buckshot with that stock and not even blink. She's all smiles.

I don't know why you went 20g though. With the recoil reducing stock, the 12g is no more of a sacrifice of increased recoil.
