Approximately 7 months ago one of my friends, who was fresh from the Marines, decided to take me skeet shooting. Before this I was not a shotgun person. Needless to say I was hooked. After shooting as many guns as I could, I went out and bought a Remington 870 Express (again a topic for another post).
Being a gear geek, the off the shelf configuration was not going to last. After looking around I spotted the Remington ShurShot Stock. And after wracking my brain looking for every possible excuse I decided I needed it.
I am doing this in two parts. I was so excited about this thing that I had to write it up, however , I have not had a chance to shoot it. When I do I will write part 2.
Installation of the Remington ShurShot Stock:
I was expecting this to be a pain in the ass, fortunately it was really easy. Basically you remove the existing butt plate, revealing the longest bolt on the planet. Removing the butt plate is also probably the hardest part, as you need a screw driver that can fit into the foam plate. Use the same screwdriver to unscrew the old stock and replace with the new stock. Then attach fancy new “Supercell Recoil Pad”.
I did not have to replace the front end as I already had a synthetic stock. I am sure that process is easy as well.
Feel of ShurShot Stock:
I have never been a huge fan of traditional stocks. They always make my wrist feel pushed too far down. Maybe I have not met the right one. However the ShurShot feels great. Actually the more I handle it the better it’s feeling. My wrist feels good as does my elbow and shoulder.
Pro/Con:
(Coming in part 2) It needs a little more abuse first. 
Buying Advice:
I live in the Northwest where the outdoors is huge but hunting not so much. Thus, I could not find one locally. This means that unless you live in the turkey shooting capitol of the world, you will probably have to buy it online. Lets face it, you will probably get a better price online. Supposedly, Cabela’s carries the Remington ShurShot Stock but I had inventory issues. I would head over to Amazon.

Hello!
Very nice return. But I still have a question. Does it possible to take off the trigger plate without take off the shureshot stock?
Thank you for answer in advance!
Nick,
Basically you want to know if you can still remove the trigger assembly while the shurshot is attached. The answer is yes. I did a deep clean of my 870 last week and did not have to remove the stock when I removed and cleaned the trigger assembly. Hope this helps.
Chris
Chris,
thank you for answer!
Now, the last doubts about this stock are in past, and I’ll order it!
And I wish you good shots from your 870!
