I thought you said it was Scott...


Was it a Scott as your first response claimed or a Dixon as said later ?

The gun is a Dickson, I was being vague calling it a Scot. I meant a Scottish made

I might add that this gun fitting issue is complicated by my right eye not being as dominant as it once was. I noticed it a few years ago shooting an o/u and found my left eye looking down the side

I have followed this thread with interest and to its conclusions .
It is a phenomenon I have encountered so many times ,that it is in fact the shooter not the gun, though many people still find it hard to admit to it .
It all comes down to mount , stance and gun control by which I mean the actual holding and grip on the gun.
Over the years and having done hundreds of gun fittings it has been my conclusion that 60% plus of shooters problems are they themselves and many problems can be overcome by simple adjustments to the individuals handling of the gun in question .

Amen, gunman. I learned this for myself after building my grease plate. Even how tightly you grip the gun can affect where that pattern goes.

A rifle shoots it's best groups when held exactly the same each shot, and often will group the tightest with the least amount of grip being applied to it by the shooter, thus allowing it to recoil unhindered each shot. Why would a shotgun behave any differently?

Thanks for that post. SRH

Perhaps. I may even tend to agree with you. However, when one gun is egregiously not regulating and yet a similar gun, shot by the same person does regulate - I suspect the gun, not the shooter, and not the load.
