I would suggest a Mesa Tactical Shell Holder and one of their new Urbino stocks. I posted a pic of my 870 in a recent thread if you want to see what the stock looks like.

I too have the Mesa Tactical shellholder. A warning to left handed shooters. Be careful of your hand slipping too far forward on the grip. I sliced my finger open on the edge of the shellholder on the first shot. I'm thinking about having the culprit machined off and rounded.

I went with the youth stock with the limbsaver recoil pad so that I could use it with a vest if I wanted to. (that and my youngest son likes to shoot skeet with it.) I have a rifle sighted 20" barrel that I sent off to Vang Comp for their choke modifications and finished it off with a magazine extension and a synthetic foregrip.

Firecop what do you think of the vang comp treatment was it worth it?

That is the good thing about the new Mesa Tactical Urbino stock. It has a 2" shorter LOP and the Limbsaver pad.

Yep, extending the forcing cone is worth it if you want to shoot tighter groups. It makes skeet shooting a little harder. My son actually prefers an unmodified Remington 1100 for shooting skeet.

Before I sent the barrel in, I was shooting 30" groups at 25 yards with 00 and #4 buckshot. When I got it back, the groups went to 9" at 25 yards.

When I got the barrel back from Vang Comp, it was rough on the inside. I sent it to the gunsmith in Ada that does the same type of work. He polished the inside of the barrel and made it shine.
