ferguson_tom Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Hi everyone I have a browning 325 grade 3 I bought when I first started shooting last year, I thought it fitted but soon realised it didn't when I did more shooting. It's a lovely gun and I really don't want to sell it but by sound of it the gunsmith will have to add an extension onto the comb with different wood, to be honest I don't want to ruin the gun and would rather sell it on to someone it fits. So I will be looking out for a new gun but what make/models of shotgun have a high comb as this seems to be my main problem. I will be going to the gun fair early next year which is where I will probs get one from. My 325 is worth about £1000 so looking for something around that money. Cheers in advance, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 If you like the gun, why don't you just have the stock made adjustable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibs Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 If your low on the comb then there is a fair to middle chance to will be on most others you pick up as well, unless yours has been altered prior to you having it. Adjustable comb is the way forward which is tidy and doesnt add wood. Better to see more rib than too little. If you like your gun then for a couple of hundred quid you will achieve what you need to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 As above if you like the gun get an adjustable comb added. If the Browning is to low in the comb most other makes will be to. How low is too low 6mm? Or 20 mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) Adjustable combs have their uses and I wouldn't be without mine but if you need a high comb then the stock needs bending up and raising properly, merely raising the comb part leaves the pad where it was which isn't ideal. Look into buying just a Trap stock for your existing gun or chop in for a Trappy set up, make sure you shoot before buying.

twitchynik Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 If you're at the Almshoe shoot in January you can have a go on my B525 Trap Advance. I need a high comb and trap guns fit me well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemini52 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I have a miruko mk70,which is a bit low in the comb,i will be having a adjustable comb done next year,rather then sell it and try to find something to fit me better.A mate of mine had a parker hale trap gun up for sale,its thirty inch fixed choke,based on the 101 action,at 300 quid thought i would take chance,its high in the comb and spot on for me,shoots really well so will get mk70 done and just keep the trap gun for rainy days.As someone as said its better to high than to low.

Gordon R Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 gemini52 - that is a steal. These are equivalent to the Winchester Grand European. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P~MX Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 take a look at the Isis website by David Izzard - David makes comb raisers in different heights from the same material as the Isis green recoil pads, they come covered in leather and at around £35 they won't break the back + they look and feel good too. http://www.recoilsystems.com/combraiser/combraiser.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemini52 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 gemini52 - that is a steal. These are equivalent to the Winchester Grand European.

Gordon R Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I remember now. I thought for a second that someone else had got an absolute steal. I kept wondering how I missed out again. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson_tom Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 thanks for the advice everyone. After speaking to a couple of others and your advice on here i am gonna keep the browning and probably go for the adjustable stock option and get the gun properly fitted at the gun smiths.
