Hello everyone, just found this site and I am in need of some advice.
Had a guy who owed me some money about 500-600 bucks. He offered me an SKB 585 waterfowler to forgive the debt. I had never heard of SKB, looked them up and seems like a good deal, if it did not fit me I could sell it for maybe a little more. Anyway, it has had only about two boxes of 7 1/2 shot lead run through it, so it was in excellent condition, so I took it. Well, never having owned a O/U I really didn't know what to expect. It throws up very well, feels great, until I pull the trigger, the gun seems to crack my cheek bone. Is this cause it doesn't fit? Or is it my technique. I have shot many different rifles but not many shotguns and have never had this problem before. My only other shotgun is an 870. I hit what I aim at but it gets painful. Is there something I can do to the gun?
