Howdy all.Just bought a older Remington 1100.It came with a Speedfeed Monte Carlo rear stock. Is the purpose for the monte carlo stock the same on a shotgun as a rifle (move head up to see through the scope better)? Never had one or experience with one on a shotgun before.Thanks
Monte Carlo stock on a shotgun?

OK Thanks.Any idea on what kinda sight picture I should go for? With a normal Remington 870 stock I tried the centre bead lines up with the base of the sight,I can just see the white bead. With the monte carlo stock I see the rib all the way from the edge of the stock to the front sight.Not into trap ,skeet or clays yet.So I don't know squat about shotgun stock fitment.Thanks

IIRC some of the 870s with cantilever deer/turkey barrels came with the monte carlo stocks because they were pretty much necessary.
if you dont like it, and its in good shape you can just sell it on the EE and buy yourself a Hogue stock (or whatever) instead and probably break out even.

Trap guns also commonly have Monte Carlo type stocks, along with high ventilated ribs. The idea is to make you place your head higher so that most of the pattern appears to be above the bead. This provides the best "sight picture" for targets that are moving away from the shooter.
Shotguns for skeet or field use are typically stocked such that the bead points at the middle of the pattern in order to work well with a variety of different target angles.
