Title: Remington Shurshot stock and forarm
Post by: Crappiepro on April 19, 2011, 12:05:12 PM
I've been thinkin about putting one on my 870, my buddy has one and it feels great to shouder but it seems like I can't get down behind the bead to aim. Is this me or does the stock just put you in that position like your over the bead. My buddy loves his and says he doesn't notice the problem. Is it me or what? Thanks Crappiepro

I have the Sureshot stock on My 870.  Yes the comb is higher.  More like a rifle.  I Love it.  I set my speed bead up  higher.

 His is gun was not factory installed and my gun has the same vent rib and bead type barrel as his, So if I get the stock combo, I'll need to put a taller site system on the gun.Will the rise be enough to get an eye alignment with a scope?

Put one on my 870 and it feels like a new gun, feels so much better. It does make you line up a little higher but that was a plus for me because I mounted a burris fast fire and the sight line is perfect

the sure shot can be used with the bead but it is not as comfortable as one would like it too be but it works great with rifle sights and scopes

:agreed: I put on on my 870 and it helped since I have a Mueller sight on it.

I noticed that when I put mine on.  I bought the Williams Fire Sights and it took care of the problem.  I feel like with the Sure Shock stock I can hold it all day. . .at least more then the old stock.

I wanted one but felt I to could not get down on the bead with it so I went with the knoxx and I love it. If you where wanting rifle sights or optics the sure shot would be perfect.
