Tamid,

Why don't you call and talk to Dale Tate? I'm sure he travels often or could recommend a trained gun fitter in your area. No offense, but I think the more you play with your stock, the more problems you're going to have. A properly trained gun fitter can get you going in a few hours. Teach you to mount and modify the gun to point to where you look.

Tamid -

Unless you are malformed there are only a few components to stock fit.
LOP
DAC
DAH
Cast
Pitch
(I am of course ignoring a couple that only the totally committed concern themselves with and have no effect on Tamid's quandary.)
For me personally, none of those are interrelated. With an adjusto stock of some sort, PFS is probably the least expensive and pre-owned ones show on ebay and trap sites, each can be set independent of the others. AFA I'm concerned I can set everything in about 5min except for perfect comb height (the only value that actually needs to be fairly precise) and I can get that within +/-1/8" easily - - later set on the plate. That's what try-stocks were devised to do. Just carving away on a hunk of wood will likely not ever make you happy.
FWIW I've never heard of anyone suffering with any of the 680 series trap configurations.
besta luck

wonko, tell us more about pitch and what hit does...

a bitta DYI for you

wonko, more than what i ever wanted to know...

but, most of my favorite skeet guns are old pre ww1 hunting guns that have three inch drop at heel and no pitch...as such, i can barely see the rib...by inserting one or two nickels, as spacers under the butt plate at the toe, i am increasing the forward pitch, which results in my seeing a lot more rib...which may improve my score...


cant wait to try this out on the range next week...hell, i might even break 20 out of 25...

thanks for links...
