I couldn't find a piece of walnut to match what the Sauer had so I decided not to hide the fact wood was being added. I placed a black divider between the splice and fitted a kick-eez pad to the back. Because the pistol grip had a white line, I threw one of those in at the back too for good measure. After finalizing the pad's fitment and getting the "hogs back" stock profile smoothed in, the LOP landed at 14 5/8". That's right where I wanted it.
The proper length of pull proved a good move at clays.
The gun weighs 6 lbs 6oz without the scope and balances about 1" ahead of the hinge pin. The 26" barrels swing just like my other doubles and I find the gun is lively and responsive.
Misses were the Indian...not the bow, so to speak.
