Remington Recoil Pad - standard??
 

Hi there! I've never really tried going on a forum before, so bear with me please :)
I just ordered a Remington 870 Express 3 ½” Super Magnum Shotgun for my son (who's 11) to use... Does anybody know if they come standard with the new SuperCell Recoil pad, as advertised on their web-site? ... or is this something worth ordering over and above?
THANKS!!!

better hope its a pretty thick pad for your 11 year old :)

He can always grow into it!! I'm just getting set up for waterfowl myself, and a couple weeks ago on opening day, I didn't even get to shoot once cuz I was letting him use my shot-gun[&o] Ahwell, that's what mothers do, right?!?! But ONLY FOR SO LONG!! ;) He'll be excited come Christmas morning (and I'll get my gun back, too)!!

Yes, assuming it is a 2008 shotgun it will come standard with the pad.

He doesn't have to shoot full power 3.5" loads right now. Until he can handle it there are plenty of 2.75" and 3" duck and goose shells available.

Thank you very much!! I just ordered it this morning from Cabella's... so I'm assuming it'd be 2008. To date, we've only ever shot 23/4 on my Rem 870... but I'm pretty sure he'll be towering over me in no time!! gulp!! [&:]
Again, thanks for the help... I couldn't seem to find an answer anywhere!!
