Cutting the stock can be done, but it will require one to "glue in" mounting blocks for the new recoil pad to be fastened too.Originally Posted by Lex Luthier
Unless you need it very short, Id opt for one of Benelli short recoil pads.
Better yet, pick up a M2 compact stock and short recoil pad.

Good points. I wasn't even thinking about the shape of the receiver.As noted, Velcro cards don't work well on the receiver due to the forend overlap and the curved sides (they don't have the slab sides of most shotgun receivers). I used a Mesa side-saddle for awhile but didn't like the extra bulk and eventually just slapped a shell card on the stock.
I've since trimmed this card down to hold four shells...
I have a 14 inch Supernova, but it never grew on me. I have a much easier time working an 870.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
Mostly personal/subjective reasons? Even so, what were they?
Trying to run it fast, I feel like a monkey humping a football.

My Supernova is making me think about ditching my 870s. I know shotguns are individuals, but it patterns FC 8 pellet 00 better than my 870s, and every other buckshot round I've tried through countless choke tubes. I had to try a round of 3.5" 18 pellet Winchester 00, you know, for science. The pattern at <10 yards was terrible, but the recoil made up for it in spades. Even a recoil operated Benelli dampens a some of the blow, but the Supernova lets you experience it in all.

Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
Mine does not feel particularly handy or fast but it's the 18" with pistol grip. I love the gun but it feels rather unwieldy.
Mine felt that way with the factory PG stock and it's ridiculous LOP. I tried the Mesa Urbino...LOP was much better, but still didn't care for the pistol grip.
I priced the parts to convert to the standard ComforTech stock and it was going to be almost $300...for just some f'ing plastic and mounting hardware! I found a ComforTech model on GB, bought it, and sold my pistol grip SNT...wound up being out of pocket $30 in the end. I bought a shorter Benelli gel recoil pad that helped with the LOP, and I find a standard stock to be much more ergonomic for me anyway.
