Again, I really did not intend to bring something up that has been done to death.

But here is where I stand. I am just a mediocre shot, but I try hard to develop a flexible field style (Churchill/Holland/Orvis/etc. method) that is dependent upon having the gun fit the shooter. My sole goal is field shooting; even at the target range, I use the same low-gun mount. As long as I pratice a lot, and mount the gun exactly the same way, I can do reasonably well. For me, consistency is an absolute must.

My other shotguns are all stocked to fit me, and with my modest skills, I'd really hate to have to adapt my style of shooting to a new gun. In fact, I'd rather scratch my plan to procure an American classic than do so.
