I get cheek slap from every gun that I pre-mount for trap shooting. That includes semi's, pumps, a number of sxs, a number of o/u, a Remington 1894 F-Trap and my wife's Winchester 101 with a Gracoil.
My trap gun is especially bad, a Beretta 680 trap combo with a double barrel and an un-single that I purchased new in 1982. I have tried a high roll over Monte Carlo style stock, then whittled it to extreme cast off, put a leather pad on it, tried vaseline. I have an adjustable butt pad and have played around with the pitch. My mount is normal, I'm not doing anything different than most other trap shooters. After one round my cheek is starting to swell and after two rounds I'm generally finished.
But if I shoot low gun I never get cheek slap. Never get it shooting low gun skeet or while hunting unless I pre-mount to shoot a cripple.
Never get it from any of my rifles that includes most of the common calibers up to Win 338. All my rifles have custom stocks with extreme high roll over Monte Carlo butts.
I am the average guy, 5'10", 175lbs, fit and no unusual features.
I've had lots of guys who think they know something about gun fit provide many comments but none have worked.
I'm sure there is a fix but I don't know what it is.
