I have a Remington 870 Express Supermag with black synthetic stock that kicks me in the face so bad my cheek begins to swell after only a few shots with even low brass target loads. I have shot many other 870s identical to mine with the same stock and barrel as mine and never had this problem with any other gun. I sometimes feel like I try harder to get down on the gun to see the bead like I should. Any suggestions?

THATS BS! take it to a gunsmith and get the stock measured and fitted to your arms. If you have a comparable gun take it to and have that gun copied to fit it.
If nothing else get a recoil reducing device such as lead, mercury, or the kicks stock put on it You will NEVER OVERCOME PAIN BY PRACTICING.

NNM,
The 3.5 inch loads in a pump gun are brutal, especially turkey loads. I agree with Brad, it sounds as if the stock fit is off. It may be that the drop differs from the old model. Have a gun smith check it out for you and consider a recoil reduction device. Never keep shooting a gun that pounds you. You won't get used to it you will start to run from it!

I had the same problem with my 870 when I bought it four years ago. Having shot hand loaded big bore rifles for years I knew when I couldn't hold on to a 12 gauge something was wrong. I took the plug out of the tube and replaced it with a capped pipe filled with fine shot. Then I filled the cavity under the butt plate with shot. The difference was like night and day.
