Recoil on a 1100 - Page 2

Rob72 · September 21st, 2007, 11:47 AM

Couple of suggestions:

Get a youth stock(13" LOP), and have a KickEeze 1/2" pad fitted. A smith should not have any trouble shaving a bit more off the stock to have it at 13" or slightly less.
KickEeze is the best I've found (vis a vis Simms, Pachmayer, or factory).

Call Remington- you might be able to get a shorter barrel cheaper as an extra, than as part of the Tac package. Probably not, but...

The pad will make it a joy to shoot. I've done 400 rounds, mixed 00 and skeet in an afternoon through a Benelli, with no problem.

I took both my 870 and 1100 dove hunting this past weekend. The recoil on the 1100 is noticably less than the 870 - and the 1100 doesn't have a recoil pad. With field loads, neither was unconfortable.
