Does anyone ever have your shotgun fitted to you?

[QUOTE="Another Casual, post: 2652438, member: 89878"] I don't think fitting is as common as it should be, but it's definitely easier to cut the stock down than make it longer. For me shotguns have always been about fit. I went to an outdoors show in PA with all the major manufacturers there. I must have shouldered close to 30 models in one day before I felt like I had zeroed in on one. The Franchi I got includes shims that goes between the stock and the action to adjust drop and cast. Once I figured out which shim fit me best I was hitting consistently and wasn't getting smacked in the face anymore. In short, if everything other than the LOP fits you I'd get the gun and have it shortened. If the drop or cast aren't right, I'd keep shopping. [/QUOTE]
