2008 Hot Picks — Shotguns & Slugs!
 Remington’s ShurShot stock is available on 870 and 11-87 shotguns with fully-rifled cantilever slug barrels. The design is a hybrid between a pistol-grip and thumbhole stock allowing for greater accuracy and recoil control. ShurShot stocks come from the factory with Remington’s new SuperCell recoil pads for even more kick-dampening. Contact Remington at (800) 243-9700 or www.remington.com.
