Re: ati vs knoxx
I can offer this on the Knoxx. It works as well as they claim for me. I have shot lots shells from clay loads to 3”00 buck in my lifetime. The first day I shot with the stock I shot 30 Remington Sluggers and 30 Remington 00 buck both full power, about 25 target loads and the next day nothing….not even tender I was amazed. I will also say straight up this stock is not for everyone. The recoil is completely different than a standard stock. It seems to make the gun jump up. The recoil is still there but the stock redirects it up and back and in the process takes the shock and converts it to more of a push…..it is comparable to getting punched on the shoulder or getting shoved, it just scrubs the initial “pop”. At first it messed up my timing because of the different type of kick it produced. Over some time I got better with it but didn’t really realize it till I shot some with a coworkers 590. I had actually gotten faster with follow up shots with the Knoxx and really noticed the recoil on the 590…..you learn to get in sync with the motion. This after 30 years with a conventional stock vs. shooting the Knoxx 20 times in a 4 month period, about 600 shells. This stock needs an investment of time from the shooter because it is kind of weird feeling at first. The only other thing would be long term reliability but it seems very well built. I have never experienced cheek slap either but again you can’t shoot it like a regular stock. Cheek weld needs to be more toward the rear of the stock…. Pro’s : adjusts from 12 to 15 “ LOP, reduces felt recoil, with the PowerPak it gives option to for cheek riser to run optics, stores ammo, stores two 123 batteries, three sling mounting options, heavy duty. Cons : moving parts, tad heavy, and a learning curve….I love mine.
