The commentary is diverse, but its not perverse. Nobodys told me that they won Olympic bronze shooting a SPAS-12 off a Harris bipod with 00 buck, and that I should try it.

Regarding stock configuration, all I can tell you is that the coach at the club I visit took a good look at how I hold my Browning, and pronounced it a pretty good fit. And... I seem to be able to shoulder it consistently, since Im never fiddling around making coarse adjustments before calling the pull. I feel very comfortable with it. Its as-shipped, pistol/beavertail, factory buttplate.

The only other SxS Ive ever fired was a friend's Baikal, 20-odd years ago. Shot it at hand-thrown Maria Muldaur LPs in a sand pit. Not much of a baseline for comparison.
