Gun fitter in York, PA area?

[Chris17404]

Hi all,

I am a new shotgunner and currently use an 870P for skeet shooting. It fits me very poorly. I'm 6'3" tall, 205lbs, and have long arms. If I were to continue to use my 870P, it wold need it all: increased LOP, add cast off, increase drop so my eyes are on the barrel when mounted, and probable modify pitch too.

I am in the market for a new shotgun to be used primarily for skeet and would like to discuss my options with a competant gun fitter in my area. Obviously, I am considering an O/U or semi-auto, but there are pros and cons to both, especially when it comes to adjustability.

Does anyone know of any gun fitters in the York, PA area (South-Central PA) that could help me out? Ideally, they should have one of those infinitely-adjustable stocks so we can work out all the details, discuss the proper type of gun for my shooting goals, and then once I purchase the gun, they should be able to do the adjustment work.

Thanks in advanced for your help!

Chris

Did you try Trops in E'town

Yes, I called Trop's. The gunsmith there can only do basic stuff. He definitely can't bend stocks.

Not exactly in the York area, but Jack Bart of Bart's Sporting World in Glen Burnie, MD has done some fittings for me. Check out their website for more info. (I don't have the url right now. You can google for it.)

Trops is not great for shotgun fitting and Shyda's has not reopened after a divorce shutdown the FFL

Try Backwoods Outfitters in Columbia, ask for Tom He might be able to help.
