Thread: Opinions for new 870 stock (pistol grip?)

Damn you ArmedBear, now I have to go shoot some more shotguns (OK, that is a good thing). I have been wanting to take a Mosberg 590 for a spin, I guess now is my opportunity.

Quote: Ringer, can you post a picture of them side by side...on their side to see the profile? I'll see what I can do. I'm pretty sure I still have the factory stock in a box.....somewhere.

there is a thread about 'how many times people have fired a pistol grip shotgun' the info there might be helpful

I can confirm that the grip area on the Hogue stock is quite a bit more vertically oriented, it's almost like an intermediate step between a regular curved stock and pistol gripped one.

What about a stock like this. I've seen the stocks for sale at Cabelas and Academy. Not sure of the pricing though...

I actually like a thumbhole stock, provided you're a right hander. I'd try the feel of one of those in teh store. Keep in mind, your hand, especially if it is bigger, will absorb some recoil on a thumbhole. As for a full stock/pistol grip combo, I'd look at the Speedfeed.

I believe the Houge might be a good bet. Do be careful about the Remington stocks with the molded pistol grips though. The angle is really off in my opinion. You might look at a Mesa stock setup too. It does not allow a wood stock unless you build it yourself but it really is a comfortable setup.

I don't even know how to properly describe what I want. I figured out how to properly describe what I want. Another gun. Remington's trigger is a travesty. You'd think that they would have improved it in 60 years, but nope. Their most expensive Sporting Clays and LE guns have...

i got the remington "shur shot" on my slug gun and love it. its just like the camo one shown up above.
