Guest Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Hello all, Just bought a new gun and unsurprisingly it doesn't fit-hurts my cheek. I can feel it's slightly too short and have ordered a longer recoil pad to give me an extra 10mm LOP. Beyond that with the gun hurting my cheek what is this usually sign of? Comb too high? Too low? Etc. Also I'm looking to take it to a gunsmith or something to have the stock altered or an adjustable comb put on it. Does this sound like a good option or does anyone have any other advice?

Gordon R Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 I would have said comb is too low. You can try the stick on rubber comb raisers, but an adjustable comb is better than stock alteration. It adds value to the gun, whereas altering the stock devalues it.

Guest Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Cheers chaps, also any ideas how much all this work could cost? Are we talking into the hundreds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Also it's odd, even though I'm sure it doesn't fit properly I've been more accurate with this gun than any I've owned before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 It may be that the new gun is OK but you are so used to you old gun that you may need to adapt your mount . It is not an uncommon problem and I'm sure it can be sorted quickly and economically before you start spending money on unnecessary modifications such as adjustable combs .

That's all gun fit IMHO correcting faults in stance is the first step of many as I'm sure your aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 As others have said, see a good coach/fitter - and have your gun fitted. Adjustable guns (as in try guns) have a place in the hands of experienced coaches/fitters, but are not needed for one individual and are not for the inexperienced amateur. Once you have it right, it doesn't need changing. Indeed to keep making changes will only confuse the issue. See an expert! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
