They don't always have them in stock so, if you want one, just keep checking back. I purchased mine from Amazon for $88.00 which I think is a hell of bargain.

So, for those of you considering the Knoxx Gen II Recoil Reducing Stock, I'd say (when used properly) it cuts the recoil experience by 30-40%. I went back to the range and tried using my forend hand to pull the shotgun back, against my muscle group.Īnd. However, by applying Tip #2 with the Knoxx stock, I was keeping it from working properly! Well, those tips worked for the 930, and Tip #1 (obviously) works for all shotguns. With my forend hand, keep outward pressure against the recoil. Hold the butt of the stock against the muscle group inboard of my shoulder, not on my shoulder.Ģ. What I hadn't realized at the time was that I was holding my 12 gauge in a way that prevented the stock from working properly.Īfter my Mossberg 930 experience (ferocious recoil! :shock: ) I asked one of the old timers to give me some 12 gauge tips. In a former post (somewhere) I had indicated that I was disappointed in the Gen II recoil reduction. I thought I'd give an updated critique of the Knoxx Gen II Recoil Reducing Stock. Looking forward to taking it out to the range! The only thing that has me wondering is the buttpad, it's basically a steel plate with a rubber coating, and I'm willing to bet it'll be giving my shoulder some punishment with heavier loads.Īt $42 for the stock, $1.50 in hardware, and maybe 25 cents worth of solvent for something that retails for $100-120 before shipping, I can't describe how happy I am. I was afraid the Length of Pull would be too short for me, but it feels identical to the Mossy factory stock, or 'just right'. It gives a very low cheek weld (and a good cheek weld at that), which puts my eye in the perfect spot for proper sight picture with the bead. The lockup of the folder is SUPERB, steel-to-steel lockup, no wiggle room whether it's folded or unfolded.

It's a little tedious to install on the gun, as you don't have much room to finagle the bolt through the hole in the stock and into the receiver, but it's do-able. First impressions with it on the gun are very encouraging.
