Another stock option is also from choate. They make "tamer" stocks for .410, 20, and 12 gauge shotguns. NEF only makes the .410 "tamer" shotgun, but you can get the 20 gauge "tamer" stock directly from choate. If I remember right the 20 gauge "tamer" stock holds three shells (.410 holds 4). It doesn't have the monte carlo profile or recoil pad, but it's a pistol grip and holds three shells securely.
In all honesty I don't know which I'd prefer, the synthetic monte carlo or the "tamer" stock. :?
Also, like another member here had done, I'd gunkote the metal so it doesn't rust in wet weather. Plus a matte gunkote finish would eliminate any glare off the barrel (spooked one deer that walked up to me during turkey 2nd season).
And I think if I planned on using it only as a bad weather brush hog I'd skip the scope and go right to a williams peep sight like what's on the buffalo classic and target models. With the rear peep it's plenty accurate for deer as far as the 20 gauge sabot will cleanly take one, and with the peep aperature removed the "ring" the aperature screws into becomes a ghost ring. Very fast for up close action in the brush. No rain to fog the optics, very rugged, light weight, visually see if they've been "knocked off" by a spill or drop, resetible after they've been "knocked off" by returning to original setting, etc.
Man, now I want one!!!!! :wink: Tracker I or II, synthetic non monte carlo or tamer 20 gauge stock (either is fine with me), williams peeps sight, sling, lots of slugs.
later,
scruffy
