Tactical Stock for shotgun
I just ordered a Talon Tactical Stock by ATI for my Winchester 1300 short turkey. Since I can do nothing but wait on it to get her, thought I'd ask if any of you have tried one of these stocks on a shotgun?

Lil too late, no?
Might be a little late asking for advice after you've already bought it.
Tactical (AR style) stocks on shotguns have their nuances. I'm personally not a fan, but the adjustability is nice, and of course, they have that look that a lot of guys are looking for.
Expect that the recoil will be very different compared to the wood stock, hopefully the recoil pad on the end helps eat up the straight line kick. You should see a little less muzzle jump, but may not, depending upon your ability to soak up recoil.
Sight acquisition will suffer unless you're adding sights. Getting your cheek down over the shotgun is different now, as the comb is higher than it used to be.
But, all in all, I'm sure the Talon is a fine stock, I'm just not a huge fan of AR carbine stocks on shotguns in general.

Wasn't asking for advice, just opinions! Lol! It has synthetic stock now, and came factory with truglo on the rifled sights. Didn't think about the comb being higher though! Are you talking about adding a red dot scope or similar sights? Or in your opinion would the truglo sights be fine?

Guys take proper cheekweld for granted, if I feel like I have to raise my face off the stock at all, then I add a cheekpiece. Really makes a difference.
