Mesa 870 stock adapter with M4 stock or magpul sga butt stock?

I prefer the Mesa, simply because I can use a folding adapter aswell. Mine is done up on a Mossberg, but you get the gist.

How do you find the function of the Messe adapter and stock? Also how do you find the recoil?

It's as good as you make it. Get something like a Magpul stock with Limbsaver pad and you're laughing. Super easy to install the adapter and then pick your favourite furniture.
 
I have both , but on Mossbergs , both are nice , the mesa for adjustabliaty, with the magpul not far behind , but , if I could only have one , it'd be the magpul .
The mesa on a mossberg, for me , I couldn't get a comfortable cheek weld with a bead sight , I end up putting ghost ring sights on it , it's probably different on a 870 .
If you do go mesa , get a crosshair recoil buffer tube and a limbsaver pad on a magpul CTR [mil spec] stock , like lerch641 said , it's very nice .
 
Another vote for the Mesa, I love mine. Adjustable on the fly quickly, add a limbsaver recoil pad and it makes 3” magnum slug loads feel like 2.75” standard 00 buck loads. It really takes the bite out of the recoil of a magnum load.
 
Got to run around 100 rounds of various slugs and buckshot through my 870 with Mesa setup including a limbsaver pad on my CTR stock. I have to say this is a way more pleasant setup than the Magpul SGA stock I had before. The handling was much improved and felt recoil much reduced. Going the MESA adapter route was a bit more expensive but it’s a far better setup in my opinion.
 
Well, finally got a stock. Ended up with the Magpul pretty much because that is all I could source locally. Gotta say it is a huge improvement over the factory stock, egro's are pretty decent and it manages recoil fantastic!
