Hey guys my Remington 870 has a recoil pad on it that is hard as a brick. I can shoot 4 games of trap(100 rounds) with low recoil target loads and turn my shoulder purple. I'm not a small dude either, lol, 6'0 240lbs. I need to replace the pad in a bad kinda way. I buy most of my gun accessories from midwayusa but when I look at all the reviews for the different 870 recoil pads, they all say that the fit isn't correct. Its either too small or too big. My 870 is a express magnum with wood furniture. Is there a pad that fits my gun perfectly with no modification needed? Also if I'm gonna upgrade, I want the best upgrade. As little recoil as possible.
I'm also open to a complete stock change out. I looked at those choate mark 6 stocks that look kinda like a dragunov style and they hold like 5 extra rounds. My gun already holds 9 rounds in the mag tube alone due to a choate magazine extension, it would be nice to stay with the max on board capacity theme and hold rounds in the stock. But I'm not sure if I want any kind of pistol grip on my shotty, I have a bad right wrist and I don't want to put extra stress on it by holding a pistol grip that is going to transfer extra recoil to my hand.
I would like to hear suggestions on taming the recoil with stock upgrades or recoil pad upgrades. Please don't suggest that knox recoil absorbing stock, I have researched that already and am just not into that particular stock. Thanks for any info you may have for me.
