Grant makes an excellent point I failed to mention. It’s absolutely critical that you have the gun fitted to you, or have someone who is skilled enough to check the fit.
I dropped some serious coin for a “B"rand name gun without doing so. It was a great shotgun and a good deal. I couldn’t hit the side of a barn with it. We have a certified shooting coach available at my club, and he does fittings for a very reasonable amount. The minute I lifted the gun to my shoulder he just shook his head and told me I would never be able to shoot well with it. Long story short, the stock was too short for me and as a result I couldn’t get a good cheek weld with it. I sold the “B”rand name gun and bought a nice Lanber that I had been looking for a long time. I paid Roger, my coach, to fit it for me and it worked out perfectly. It cost me less and my scores went up significantly afterwards. -D > On Aug 29, 2019, at 6:53 PM, G Mann via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > If it fits when you shoulder it, for that price, buy it.
