Hello folks, I would like a Remington 870 stock that can be adjusted down to 12" LOP or less, with an adjustable cheek piece.
A good recoil absorbing shoulder pad or even a springy recoil reduction mechanism would be a bonus.

The ATI Akita would do, except that it doesn't go down to 12", so I am probably looking at a M4-style collapsible.
There are various ATI T2 stocks, the folders have a big cylinder that sticks out the side.

The Knoxx Gen II would work with the addon cheek piece, I suppose.

Have I missed anybody?
Edit: You missed Archangel, they would do.

An ATI Talon or Taclite non-folder looks acceptable, but I don't see them in stock either.

Does anyone have a stock that adjusts well, is reasonably sturdy, and is currently sold in Canada?

Magpul SGA, hands down. Adjustable LOP (12.5 -14.5" in 1/2" increments), optional inserts to raise the cheekweld for optics and an optional recoil pad adapter to use any 870 recoil pad. I'm not sure how the stock SGA recoil pad is as mine had the adapter with a Remington Supercell.

Only downside? It is not cheap at around $160+tax.
 
I cringe with embarrassment when I hear anyone from Magpul speak, so much so that I am loath to own one of their products. I know this is irrational. The SGA is $134.95 at Tactical Products Canada. However I would have nothing to adjust, since I would use the shortest LOP of 12.5". So it is one size fits all for me.
I'm currently leaning towards an ATI with an adjustable riser, Scorpion pad and really short minimum LOP.
But this is why I ask, I shall have a long talk to myself about the Magpul, it is a popular item. Thanks for stretching my boundaries!

I am no Magpul fanboy, believe me. They make decent stuff but it's so damn ubiquitous that I won't put it on my AR (everyone and their brother has a CTR stock). But when it comes to shotgun stocks, there really is nothing that matches the SGA. The grip angle is perfect for me. I really suggest you try one before you rule it out, even if you just shoulder an 870 with one at a gun store.
 
Yeah, dig down and ditch whatever irrational preconception you may have and look hard at the SGA.
Nothing else compares...and unless you have an affinity for pistol grips, I'd avoid them them entirely.

I happen to like a pistol grip on my shotguns. I picked up an ATI t2 for my 870, and I will say that it is one sweet stock. Nice and padded on the grip, right where you need it, and adjustable from freakishly long right down to 11 and 3/4. The mounting point design is excellent and solid, and the hardware they send is top notch. It feels like how the gun should've came from factory.
 
I went with a Knoxx. I like the adjustability of LOP and the recoil reduction works great. The grip angle to the boreline is a little too square for me but I can live with it and it shoots well for me.

I went with a Knoxx NRS stock and I really like it. It's comfortable to shoot with and easy to maneuver. :)
 
The ATI t2 arrived today from Marstar, I took the Norinco folder (which has a shorter LOP than the fully closed ATI) off and put on the ATI using the Norinco bolt (different TPI on the Grizzly).

My requirement is: "Point shotgun with eyes closed, open eyes, shotgun on target". Which requires cheekpiece adjustment or a lot of luck.
The ATI does this for me using the Grizzly ghost ring sights with the cheek riser at minimum. I haven't fired it yet, I'll buy some reduced recoil sluggers tomorrow and try it out. The Scorpion pad is supposed to be pretty good.
You see a lot of people firing shotguns without a proper cheek weld, often with their heads bouncing off the stock with each shot.
The Knoxx looks good, and has the PowerPak riser which doesn't seem to be adjustable.
I could cut 1" of the ATI "buffer tube" to get it down to the Norinco folder LOP, but I probably won't.

So with "Adjustable" being the operative word, the ATI fills the requirement. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Edit: For the Grizzly Mag, you would have to cut a notch on the forend to accommodate the magwell. It took an hour to put the forend on, and I might put old one back on since the new one feels wobbly and flimsy.
