Gun fitting for me would be an exercise if futility ...I simply re-teach myself how I must mount each different gun
An interesting perspective.
I also have a large collection that I like to shoot from time to time.
I've taken advantage of this to do some science (scary but I think the best way to put old wives tales to the test).
I've kept track of shooting the same guns over the same sporting clays course over a period of time.
Statistically I shoot better the closer the gun is to my measured fit.
LOP is the least sensitive - I can adjust via more or less "aggressive" mounts.
Drop is second least sensitive - likewise on the adjustment
Cast is critical - poor cast means poor shooting.
Pitch and Wrist Circumference (Yardley, if I recall ponders this as a factor) appear to be irrelevant.
Of course it all could be just due to rubbish shooting skills on my part.
However, when I go for more serious shooting or hunting I take the gun(s) that fit me best.
I'm sure anyone can adapt to almost anything to an extent. Almost, for example, means I'd have a bugger of a time with a crossover stock, and I don't see those who claim to be able to shoot anything shooting them either so that tells you right there about the fundamental integrity of the argument I think.
