Going off your other post, is this the same gun as the one with the cast problem?
If it is, have it bent for both cast and drop (possibly toe) at the same time. I was told by many people that a gun could npt be bent up because of the grain but I spoke to a couple of stock benders and they said it can be done. If you bend a stock up for less drop it will affect the drop at heel and you then may require an adjustable butt plate. I just said the heck with it and got a different buttstock.
Everyone, thanks for the advice. No, this is a different gun. I have learned a great from this forum, and by doing some studying on my own about gun fit. AND about how to buy a gun. The comb had about 1/4" taken off (maybe less), it's hard to tell, when I had the stock refinished. I still didn't shoot horribly with the gun until this year.
The SxS I bought from a very reputable dealer, new, and I knew nothing about cast, so I just shot it, although not very often. Again, I didn't do horribly with it until this year.
This year I ended up shooting my old Smith & Wesson auto, because it fits me. The O/U with the low comb I'm selling, and the SxS I'm going to try to get bent, or a new stock.
Thanks, again, everyone.
