Proper Stock Fit

[JohnRov]

I'm 6'3" with 36/37" sleve length and got a Beretta 391. I went to Joel Etchen Guns in Ligonier because I knew my stock didn't fit. Had Mark Shimchick put an adjustable butt plate, Kickeez recoil pad, and spacer to increase length of pull. Gun fits fantastic. If you have any doubts about gun fitting, I highly recommend seeing a qualified stock fitter. If anyone has the chance to get up to Joel's store, please do so, it's 97% competition stuff and if you don't know about the Etchens, check out www.joeletchenguns.com. Mark talked me out of an additional few hundred bucks for an adjustable comb which it turned out I didn't need, that kind of honesty is sometimes rare in business these days. I can't wait to shoot it tomorrow.

JohnRov, Amen. If there's an American dynasty of shotgunners, it's the Etchens.

And all I've heard from is satisfied customers of theirs.

As for fit, it's essential.

I would like to hear how things go on the range.
