Sidearms & Scatterguns Pistol grip stock 870

[kcbird]

I am looking at installing a pistol grip stock on my 870. I am looking at the Mesa Tactical, Choate mark 5, and Advanced technologies. The Mesa and advanced tech seem to have quit a slop and I definitely do not want a check riser. I have not tried any of these so I have nothing to go off of. I just want good quality that fits well.

Would the magpul sga work for you?

This one came from wilson combat

Are you talkin' about this Mesa Tactical stock:

Urbino® Pistol Grip Stock For Rem 870/1100/11-87 (Limbsaver, 12-GA, Black)

Mesa Tactical's Urbino pistol grip stock is a fixed-length pistol grip shotgun stock made from injection-molded glass-filled nylon. The rugged Urbino Tactical stock features a 12½ inch length of pull (LoP), soft urethane rubber grip, optional Limbsaver® butt pad, optional adjustable cheek riser...

Where'd you hear that there's slop in the stock? Properly installed, the stock doesn't move around at all.
The one in the link does not have a cheek riser.

 

[kcbird]

Sorry, spelling helps. Slope, slant is what I ment.

 

[kcbird]

I am just running the bead front sight on the gun. I think the cheek riser on the Mesa is more for optics or ghost rings. I was wondering if anyone could confirm this? The reason I am asking is I don't want to order one and then realize I need the riser.

USMC I have used the magpul, I wasn't a big fan.

You know that the cheek riser is removeable, right? Once it's off, it's the same dimensions as the non-cheek riser model. But, you'll be fine with the non-riser model using a plain bead sight. Get the limbsaver buttpad, though.

 

[kcbird]

Thank you gentleman, I'm going to give it a try.

 

[kcbird]

Well here it is. I also added the side saddle. It is so much better than the OEM stock. Thanks guys

You say slope but you mean drop at heel. The more drop the harder it is on your cheek. The MagPul isn't quite a parallel comb but it's close.

 

[kcbird]

I guess I was over thinking it. Looking at pictures it just seemed like a lot of drop. I haven't ran any slugs or buck through it yet so we will see how that goes. I really like the feel, it points great.

GH41, you understand shotgun fit! I was going to bring this very point up but you beat me to it.

You sir, don't understand shotgun fit but you are about to.

Hint............. The way it will go is hard into your jaw and all the way to the back of your head. I would also go with 3" or even 3 1/2" slugs, if the chamber will allow it. Good luck!!!!!

I shot sporting clays and hunted for many years. You probably share a similar background. Gun fit is everything. I don't understand the "Mall Ninga" crowd where looking tacti cool is more important than a shotgun that requires no more of the shooter than focusing on the target. A gun that fits shoot where you are looking.

Unless you need to put a hole in the engine block of the getaway vehicle, little is to be had by the the extra recoil of 3" / 3.5" slugs unless you are also goose hunting. The 2-3/4" slugs will suffice for any two legged varmint without the added gun powder explosion commotion.

Ding-ding-ding.

Amen to that brother GH41! 25 plus years a trapshooter, and I fit a lot of shotguns. When I took the SH course last year I spent two painful days shooting prone behind a Mossberg MVP, .308 with a target barrel. I was brand new and didn't have a clue. At the time I had the barreled action for my PRS rifle on order, but hadn't settled on a stock. I was thinking a McMillan or a Manners, something kind of traditional rifle looking. After about the first hour that all changed. I decided right there if I was going to do this, I better get all the adjustability I have in my trap gun. It's a Browning XT combo, nothing high end but it has an adjustable comb and a Graco butt plate, adjustable for length, cant and pad up and down. I went with an MPA BA competition stock and am VERY glad I did!

You completely missed the point, and the sarcasm. Maybe next time?

Those are cool but won't work with the OP's bead sight. At a minimum, you'll need the factory-height ghost ring sights.

Glad that worked out for you.

 

[GoingTheDistance]

I tried several different stocks. The Speedfeed was too long. I thought the Urbino would be too sloped, but I really like it. I got the riser because I’m running a red dot. Love this setup!

Tried to get the ads pic to match my pov when shouldered. I use a FO bead. Not perfectly down the barrel like you'd want for hunting, but easily good enough for defending my 8-step long hallway.
