10 Yr Old Daughters Turkey Gun Complete

[gophert]

This is for my daughter's 11th birthday in July.  (if I can wait that long)  She is borrowing an older 870 youth 20 ga for this season, but I decided to "pimp" her own and give as a surprise.  This is a basic Rem 870 Youth 20 ga with a 21" bbl from walmart.  The cool thing about the Knoxx stock is that it adjust so I can shoot it too.  The only problem I have is that it will be a "surprise" to my wife too.  Oh well......

I added the: Knoxx recoil reduction stock, limbsaver recoil pad, black composit forend and a hi-viz sight.

  WoW! That is sweet she'll love it. You can't wait that long. You'll have to give it to her when she get's home from school  . Or a couple of days before youth day.

Don't forget the FF2, or the mueller. Nice looking gun.  She'll love it.

There you go. Christmas gift covered.

Would that be a christmas gift for me.....or her?  Somehow I don't think she would get as much out of it compared to all the pink and fingernail polish.

curious how you got the limbsaver on. I had a knoxx and their were now screws I could see.

I am not sure I understand your question.  Limbsaver makes a model for the Knoxx stock and it came with the screws in it.  There are two holes slightly lower than the original stock recoil pad that the limbsaver screws into.  I hope that helps.

Almost identical to my son's 20 gauge.  It is SWEET!  BTW - I'm using it in the morning.

Where did you find a knoxx stock for a 20 gauge? Does the 12 gauge model fit the 20 gauge?

Gophert,

Total, how much did that set you back?

Slicky,

The 870 Youth was $257. (came with laminate wood stock)   The black composite forend, I got from member SCC (Smokey) for $15.  The Knoxx 20 ga model I got off ebay for $120.  Total was right around $415 with tax and everything.  The great thing is that my daughter will never have to buy another gun even as she grows....oh and I get to shoot it too since the knoxx stock is adjustable.  

You can pick the gun up all day at our wal-mart (Hermitage, TN).  The drive with gas may cost you more than the gun however.

Dave, from my understanding the 12 ga does NOT fit the 20 ga.  Knoxx makes a 20 gauage model  K04400-C but does not come with a forend.  I got mine off Ebay and had it in 3 days.

How does it pattern?

I built me a SBE turkey gun before the season, but it's almost not fair shooting a 12ga with TSS.  I'm wanting to build a 20ga now.  I'd like to go with a Benelli, but I want a pistol grip stock.  That's not an option on the 20ga Nova, M1's, or M2's from what I have found.

So, I'm leaning towards the 870 youth to get the 21" barrel and put the Knoxx stock on it.  Do you like the adjustable stock???
