Saltings Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 have it fitted properly it will save you tweaking because you missed watched a guy shoot dtl tweak up a bit left a bit right a bit as inconsistent had a look miles too high and left re adjusted scores back up the lost target or two was down to pilot error fitted or adjustable call john Wiseman Cannock or adjustable doveridge gunsmiths a couple hundred £ for adjustable fitting I cant say as over thirty years ago I put my hand in my pocket and still use today if you change your guns regularly adjustable bits if you keep them fit them would be my advise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkedUp Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 £200-£250 for adjustable comb, Welshwarrior on here does it. Completely agree with @Saltings above, adjustable allows you to retain value In future sale whereas fitted is more bespoke. However if you are not a steady hand at the tiller do not go for adjustable. Set up properly once with a fitter, friend or coach. Then leave well alone.

oldypigeonpopper Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 hello, what shotgun is it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Why do you want one ? Simple question but you may think this is the way forward for you but I would suggest you explore all other options first . Have yo consulted an experienced stock fitter ? Thats someone who actually does alterations not some guy at a club who try;s to sell you something you dont need or pushes his preferences on to you . Unless you have specific physical needs most standard stocks can be adjusted to some degree . It may also be that a simple change in you stance and mount can make all the difference.

TRINITY Posted March 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 I have a miroku trap gun which i shoot with the most. I have a sporter which is fine for general shooting but on dtl or abt i cant hit a thing. I find the sight line quite different. I was considering an adjustable comb on the sporter so I would have a spare gun for trap shooting. A proper adjustable comb on the sporter seems the answer, so it's now a balancing act between a professional alteration or trade in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoot the Trap gun at Trap targets and the Sporter at the sporting targets. Get good with both and then take both to the sporting shoots.

TRINITY Posted March 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 That's exactly how I do things now. However without going into great detail there are situations that it is far more preferable just to only have one gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
