870 top folder options?

[Davy Crockett]

So I just made my first firearms purchase, an 870 tacticool errr... I mean highly practical camp gun

It currently has a pistol grip only and I'd like a top folder (can't stand the side folders for some reason). As far as I see the only options are a used Remington original LEO, the fugly Choate folder which isn't really an option and the Knoxx SpecOps. Are there any others worth mentioning? So far I'm thinking Knoxx.

I would add the ATI stock wich isa polymer version of the rem stock

Thanks Revolver

If I add ghost rings or other form of rifle sights would they still be usable with it folded up?

Choates are ugly but they are very strong, high quality and work well for me.

And the LE ones are not fun to shoot, as cool as they look.

I have an original Leo top folder. It is deffinatly built tough and does its job.
They are bulky, noisey and they tend to damage the blueing on the top of your barrels.
2 3/4 shells are a pleasure to shoot with these folders however.... 3 inch and up are hard on the shoulder and kind of ruins the fun.

I don't know which one I'd recommend, I'm just giving you my opinion on the Leo folders.

The Choate on my Mossberg 500A is painful to shoot with slugs.

who was that directed at?


Thanks for the input guys. I had heard the LEO ones weren't very comfortable to shoot. Looks like Knoxx it'll be

Who sells Knoxx in Canada?

Knoxx copstock...you can still use sights on the barrel with this.

Plus it has the knoxx recoil absorbtion. I have this stock on my 870 and im pleased with it compared to other folders. Not perfect, but a good compromise.
