Try the Knoxx!

I just got the Knoxx Spec Ops stock system for my Maverick 88 shotgun and I gotta say wow!

I don't know about anyone else, but shooting more than 10 or so slugs or magnum loads in a synthetic stocked shotgun isn't a whole lot of fun.

But after installing the Knoxx, my brother-in-law and I spent an afternoon blasting away with everything we could lay our hands on from 6 shot to 3 inch mag slugs. In total I would venture to say that we went through about 5-25 round boxes of birdshot and 3-15 round boxes of 1oz. 2 3/4 slugs and were amazed at how effective the Knoxx was.

Felt recoil was compareable to a .22 lr in my opinion and the B-I-L said that he might go as far as comparing it to a 30-30.

Either way, neither shooter felt any soreness or discomfort that would usually accompany a shooting session like the one mentioned earlier.

Also, my seven year old heard what a fuss dad and Unc were making and wanted to see what the big deal was. So a single round of factory no.6 was loaded and I held my breath as she hefted the shotgun, steadied and fired. She handed it back and said that it wasn't so bad and it was just louder than her gun. ( A cricket .22lr. Pink of course)

I don't know about anybody else, but I am impressed.
 
It really does work- I have one on an 870. However, it isn't the easiest to get a consistent cheek weld with it and the moving parts can break (I had one that let go on me), so it isn't quite as foolproof as a traditional stock.
 
My only gripe is that I can't handdle the controls as easily and intuitively as with the original stock. The pistol grip gets in the way. I practiced (still do) a lot and overcame it but then I grab my other 870 (original for hunting) and every time I make a mental note to replace the Knoxx Spec Ops with the original stock. Never have. It works too good.
 
Knoxx stock

Had one mounted on a Mossberg 500. The main recoil spring or pin broke:eek:. Was afraid to look down at the trigger guard thinking something bad happened to my finger. You know when you hurt yourself but the pain is delayed for a split second. Luck was on my side that day. Sent it back to Cabelas,then went back to wood. Nice concept but not for me........Joe
