Gordon R Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Why would you want to see more rib? That would only make it shoot high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpler1991 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I had a400 and that was set up so the mid bead was lower than top and i shot well like this With new gun it seems like I'm loosing sight of clay by the barrel And i didn't really want a comb raiser as they cover up a real nice wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't want to be seeing any more than the bead on the barrel, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stevo Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 sounds perfect to me . only time I would want to see a touch of Rib would be on a Trap gun , other than that I would leave it stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyo Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 As Gordon R states you dont want to be able to see the rib.If you can see the bead the thats right.Try bringing the gun to mount with your eyes shut,you should be seeing the same bead position everytime(bead only no rib).Try the old trick of placing a plastic clothes peg mid barrel, your bead should be central.

dougall Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 agree with above,only time want to see any rib for me is with a s/s...or when trap shooting/trap gun.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berettacocker Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 I like to see a bit of rib as most of pattern shoots 2 thirds above point of aim, ie follow beneath the bird. If your not ducking your head try a comb raiser might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Going and see someone it's very difficult to correct gun fit with out seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocknee Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Buy a trap gun though why you would want to see any rib is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayDT10 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Not everyone likes a flat shooting gun . some of the best sporting shots in the world see a little bit of rib . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the shims set to highest setting i didnt know if a comb raiser would help Cheers Yes, stick a comb raiser on it or build it up with a bit of cardboard taped on until you get a comb raiser. As JayDT10 says, most of the best sporting shots like to see a bit of rib, Lots or them shoot a sporter with a trap stock because the sporter stock combs are too low...

If you have nice wood on your stock, the other option is to get an adjustable comb fitted, £200-£250, loads of good gunsmiths that can do this for you.

Westley Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Go and see a stock fitter or a decent shooting Instructor, it could be something like poor gun mounting. A friend was telling me that his gun stock had 'altered' during the summer months. He had the gun fitted some 25 years ago and had shot very well with it. He went on to explain that his shooting had suffered towards the end of the previous game season. I got him to mount the gun for me. The first thing that I saw was that he had started to drop his head to the stock, instead of bringing the stock to cheek and shoulder. I sent him away to practice gun mounting in front of a mirror, keeping his head still. The result his gun has suprisingly 'altered' back again and all is now well.
