    aftermarket stock mesa tactical vs knoxx

    knoxx cheaper at 109 vs 269 mesa seems better made
    this is for a mossberg 590 hd gun presently has the speedfeed non pistol grip stock on it. I fondled the mesa at a recent gun show on a 590 I was impressed on how light it made the gun feel.. The recoil shooting full on 00 buck is unpleasent and I would like the recoil reduction of the knoxx or the mesa

    I have the Mesa Tactical set up on an 870 that is used for home defense and hunting. I have a fired a ton of 3 1/2 inch turkey loads through my hunting barrel with the Mesa set up and find it very comfortable. I do have to deal with "Rambo" comments from my "traditional" hunting buddies every time we hunt turkeys though.

    I have not had the chance to try the Knoxx system.
    Open the pig!

    I have the Knoxx recoil reduction version for my Mossberg 590A1. It works well, however the integration of the pistol grip to the trigger guard definitely leaves something to be desired. There is a gap between the rear of the trigger guard and the metal block that attaches to the rear of the shotgun. That metal block has sharp corners and i scratch/poke myself when I try to actuate the forend release button. I have since removed it and replaced it with the factory stock until I fin the time to modify it. There is something to be said for how much more natural and easily the controls can be manipulated with the factory stock.

    I have the KNOXX Spec Ops stock on my Mossy 590A1. Fit and finish is excellent mating perfectly to my gun. Function has exceeded my expectations. Recoil and more importantly muzzle rise have been reduced significantly. Allowing me to have much faster accurate follow up shots

    The Knoxx seems cheesy to me. I checked it out and decided it is not for me.

    You can get the MESA for $60 without the stock and then just use a spare AR stock, tube, and pistol grip.

    Speedfeed is ok. You can get the kind which does not hold extra rounds.

    Knoxx or Mesa

    I have the Mesa and have nothing but praise for it! I would suggest it.I like that I can I can fit it with any AR-15 stock. I also like their magazine clamp w/ the swivel and picatinny rail combo. Anyway It's a personal choice and unless you can put both of them in you hands at the same time ,mounted in you gun, it's pretty much trusting your gut, your wallet, or us..... what a choice! Good luck! And don't let any of these guys tell you they don't have a box full of 500.00 to750.00 of mistakes. Even the small stuff adds up quick.Take care of yourself and all those loved ones around you!!!

    Checked it out how? Cheesy how? Did you actually use it? Curious because I have yet to hear from some one who has actually used a KNOXX Spec Ops stock that did not say it was a well made product that worked exactly as advertised

    I have a knoxx on my moss500 and it is amazing. I had an 870 for 3 days I had gotten for my gf. I had never shot a shotgun and didn't realize it would be too much for her. So this year I got the moss WITH the stock installed by my buddy and it is perfect. There is NO recoil. I mean I personally think it recoils less then or as much as my AR. I love it. I am not even sure I would own a shotgun without it.

    I will never get to train as much as I want to. So when I do I need to make it count.

    I'd go with a Hogue or Speedfeed "youth" or "bodyarmor" stock.

    Using Rob Haught's push/pull technique negates the need for "recoil reduction stocks". In his two day class I put about 500 rounds down range without even a hint of a bruise on my shoulder. It really works.

    I have the Knoxx on my Mossberg 500. It greatly reduced the recoil for follow ups. Would not trade it, but then again I have not tried the Mesa
