Title: thumbhole to knoxx stock
Post by: JR on April 15, 2011, 01:31:09 PM
Has anyone changed over from a thumbhole stock to a knoxx with recoil suppression?  It's on a remington 870 super magnum?  I know it's pretty common on a regular 870.  I figured it wasn't a big deal, but sometimes my figurin' gets me in trouble.  Thanks in advance.

I shoot a 870 SM and it came with the straight camo stock and a relatively thin recoil pad.  It was brutal after about five rounds.  The first time I patterned it I shot about ten or twelve 3.5" #6 Remington Hevi Shot through it and had a nice bruise on my shoulder.  I put the R3 Remington recoil pad on it and it did help some, but it still hit harder than I like.  So, I put the Knoxx  Blackhawk Camo Spec Ops (recoil reduction) stock on it and that has helped a lot.  It is still a Supermagnum, and when shooting Winchester Supreme Elite Extended Range 3.5" #6 it still hits pretty good, but nothing like it did originally.  Hope this helps.
