future adjustable stock on Remington 1100?

[Chris17404]

Hi all,

Does anyone happen to know if Remington is planning on adding an adjustable stock to their 1100 series of guns? In particular, the Tournament Skeet model?

I really like the looks of the 1100 Tournament Skeet and the fact that you can get it in a 26" barrel length. But... it doesn't fit me. The Beretta AL391 Urika comes with that shim system, and I can adjust it to fit me perfectly. But the shortest barrel length is 28", and the looks leave a bit to be desired.

The new 1100 Competition has a factory adjustable comb option for this year. I am seriously looking at getting one of these for my wife. Maybe then she'll keep her hands off mine.

Where can I get some more info on that gun? I don't see it on Remington's website.

I have the same gun fit problem with the 1100 that I do with all other shot guns, especially my 870P. When I have it mounted in a position that I feel is comfortable where my head is not tilted, and I am relaxed:

1. My eyes are too high over the rib. Thus I believe I need to increase drop a little bit.
2. The recoil pad is too high on my shoulder, resulting on only the bottom 2/3 of it touching my shoulder. Again, some extra drop I think will help.
3. The barrel is pointing slightly left. Thus, I need to increase the "cast off".
4. I find my shooting hand scrunched to get my finger tip on the trigger properly. I have long arms. So I need to increase LOP about an inch or so.
5. With the increase in drop, I'll probably need to adjust the pitch also, so the recoil pad is flat against my shoulder.

FYI... I am 6'3" tall, and 205lbs. Adjusting the drop and cast are the two things that I cannot do myself, and would require a gunsmith to fix. They are also the two things that are off the most as far as gun fit. The shim system on the Beretta AL391 makes fixing this very easy.

Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated.

Its about time as I noticed the 1100 and 870 classic trap come with the monte carlo stock. This stock is much to high for me as the beads do not line up in a figure 8. I had to put a standard stock on mine to line up the beads. I know some of the old trap guns came with your choice.

I have the same problem Chris.

In case you were interested, I got this from Remington today:

"The 1100 adjustable comb stock is new for this year and will not be made available for parts sales until we can fulfill backorders for the complete firearm. It is usually the following year before the parts may be available for sale. "

I must say their Q&A team is pretty quick to respond.

Thanks for the info, 9mm.

I've decided to go ahead and purchase a new Beretta AL391 Urika Sporting for shooting skeet. It has the shim system in it so I can adjust the stock exactly how I want.
