Hunting 870 Shotgun, Magpul Furniture

Any reason that wouldn't make sense?

Bird hunting, I mean.

I wouldn't think so, I don't think just because a shotgun sports nice furniture or tactical accessories doesn't mean you can't use it for dual roles (hunting and home/self defense).

It might make a lot of sense if it helps you to get the proper fit which is 110% of what makes sense when shooting at birds or moving targets. For a synthetic stock it has good 870 ergonomics and plenty of spacers and risers to work with.

I am planning to make one with a MOE set for ATV/hunting use and be my new truck and traveling shotgun. An 870 that can ride along for up to a week on an ATV, be compact and still hunt fairly well. Probably a 21" VR barrel and choke tubes as well.

This gun will also be for use with my old trusty rifled slug barrel. Add a cheek riser to the stock, toss on the barrel, now it is a big bore rifle .

The other option IMHO for this gun of mine is the Mesa Urbino but the MOE stock has somewhat similar grip ergo's to a pistol grip without having to have one. Also, for bird and pass shooting the MOE would better.

It is also incredibly easy to add or remove a light form all MOE stocks, which I already use on both my hunting AR's. So when I travel one or two lights can cover all guns in camp as needed, from Glock to AR to shotgun.

No, the magpul stocks shoulder fine and you can adjust for LOP.

Here is something that the MOE stock does very well in terms of bird shooting. It may be an ugly stock but it has a great grip angle.

Back hand grip

As long as you can make hits I don't see why it wouldn't make sense.
